Hello there ^ _ ^
We know that 36 plates filled 1 box
if we have 1000 plates, how many box it would fill.
All we have to do is divide 1000 by 36 to find the answer.
1000/ 36 = 27.77777 or you can just say 28
I hope this help!
72 is the denominator because 24 multiplied by 3 is 72 and 18 multiplied by 4 is 72
12 of the cookies are chocolate chip. 18 divided by 3 is 6. 2 multiplied by 6 is 12.
