Answer 1

$\orange{\underline{\huge{\bold{\textit{\green{\bf{QUESTION}}}}}}}$

James has 268 cookies to put into bags. Each bag holds 8 cookies.

If James uses as many of the cookies as possible, how many bags can he make, and how many cookies are left over?

$\blue{\huge{\red{\boxed{\green{\mathfrak{FORMULA}}}}}}$

$\tiny{ \tiny{NUMBER \: OF \: BOXES \: = \frac{TOTAL \: NUMBER \: OF \: COOKIES }{NUMBER \: OF \: COOKES \: EACH \: B AG \: CAN \: HOLD} }}$

$\huge\mathbb{\red A \pink{N}\purple{S} \blue{W} \orange{ER}}$

$\tiny{ \tiny{NUMBER \: OF \: BOXES \: = \frac{TOTAL \: NUMBER \: OF \: COOKIES }{NUMBER \: OF \: COOKES \: EACH \: B AG \: CAN \: HOLD} }}$

$NUMBER \: OF \: BOXES = \frac{268}{8} = 33 \frac{4}{8} \\ NUMBER \: OF \: BOXES = 33 \: + 4 \: cookes \:$

$\pink{Number \: of \: boxes = 33} \\ \orange {Number \: of \: cookes \: left = 268- 264 = 4}$

If he uses 4 cookes to make one more box then he will have -->

$\pink{Number \: of \: boxes = 34}$

Answer 2

He would have 33 bags due to 268 divided by 8
