To figure this out, you should think about the multiples of 10 boxes you could have.

If I had 10 small boxes, there would need to be 86 large boxes. 86 is not evenly divisible by 8 so that doesn't work.

If I had 20 small boxes, there would be 76 large boxes. 76 is not evenly divisible by 8.

If I had 30 small boxes, there would be 66 large boxes. 66 is not evenly divisible by 8.

If I had 40 small boxes, there would be 56 large boxes. 56 is every divisible by 8.

4 cartons of 10 small boxes and 7 cartons of 8 large boxes would be needed. This is a total of 11 cartons.

What is more 7 7/9 or 7 4/5?
bezimeni [28]

First, turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions.

7 7/9 = 70/9

7 4/5 = 39/5

Second, find common denominators.

70/9 = 350/45

39/5 = 351/45

351/45 > 350/45

Therefore, 7 4/5 is greater.

Best of Luck!
