Question

A pound of popcorn is popped for a class party. The popped corn is put into small popcorn boxes that each hold 120 popped kernels. There are 1,450 kernels in a pound of unpopped popcorn. If all the boxes are filled except for the last box, how many boxes are needed and how many popped kernels are in the last partially filled box?

Answer 1

1450/120 = 12 1/12.....so u will need 13 boxes

1/12(120) = 120/12 = 10  kernels in the partially filled box....geez, I would probably just eat those 10 kernels to make it an even 12 boxes...lol :-)
