Question

The school cafeteria ordered 42 boxes of pasta. Each box contained 24 ounces. Drag numbers from the box to write two different estimates for the total number of ounces of pasta ordered. Each number may be used once or not at all.

Answer 1

Answer:

$Boxes = 1008oz$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Boxes = 42$

$1\ box = 24oz$

Required

Determine the number of ounces ordered

The question is incomplete, as the numbers to drag are not given. However, the alternate solution is as follows:

$Boxes = 42\ boxes$

This can be rewritten as:

$Boxes = 42 * 1\ box$

Substitute 24oz for 1 box

$Boxes = 42 * 24oz$

$Boxes = 1008oz$

Hence, a total of 1008 ounces were ordered
