Question

A shipping crate contains 576 boxes of cereal. you open the top of the crate and you count 12 boxes across the front and 6 along a side. How many layers of cereal boxes are in the crate?

Answer 1

There are 8 layers in the crate!
Our volume is 576 units, or cereal boxes. 576 = 12 × 6 × UNKNOWN.
We can find our unknown number by dividing:
576 ÷ 12 ÷ 6 = 8 layers!
I hope this explained it! 

Answer 2

ok so there is 12 boxes by 6 boxes per layer 
so that is 72 boxes per layer 
the crate has 576 boxes 
therefore 
576/72 
and the answer is 
8 layersi hope it helped you :-}
