Question

sheila has to pack 128 baskets of apples. she has packed 1/4 of the basket. How many baskets are left for her to pack

Answer 1

She has 128 total baskets.

Now we need to find 25% of 128. That is because 1/4 = 25

25% of 128

Set up a proportion

128/x=100/25
128=4*x      
128/4=x 
32=x 
x=32

Now we subtract 128 by 32 and we get our answer.

128-32 = 96

Our final answer: She needs 96 more baskets to pack. 

Answer 2

To answer this we will DIVIDE the amount of baskets by 4 (since it is 1/4) to see how many she has ALREADY packed, and ho many she has left. Lets do it:-

128 ÷ 4 = 32 

CHECK OUR WORK:-

32 × 4 = 128.

So, she has done 32 baskets. lets see how many more she needs to pack:-

128 - 32 = 96.

So, Shelia has 96 baskets LEFT to pack,
