Question

. Eggs are to be packed in cartons, each holding $ 12$ eggs. If there are $ 128$ eggs and as many cartons are filled as possible, how many eggs are left over?

Answer 1

In order to solve this problem you would need to divide the total number of eggs by the amount of eggs in each carton. Thus: 128/12. This can also be written as: (120/12)+(8/12). Thus there would be 10 cartons filled with 8 eggs left over. Hope that helps! :)
