Question

742 hard boiled egg into cartons for a community farm fundraiser. Each carton holds 12 eggs.

Answer 1

Answer:

I am assuming you want to know how many total cartons will be used which is about 61 cartons with a remainder of 10 eggs.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for this problem we have to divide 742 by 12:

742/12 = 61.833333...

This means that the "whole" number of cartons will be 61

If you want to find the remaining eggs not in decimal form, you have to mulitlpy 12 by 61 and take this number away from 742 to find the remainder:

**Note: 12 * 61 can also be written as 61 * 12

12 * 61 = 732 → 742 - 732 = 10 eggs

I hope this helps!
