Answer:
Margret need to get 4 boxes of cookies.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total friends = 3
Cookies each friend will get = 8
Each box has cookies = 6 cookies
How many boxes does Margret need to get?
Total cookies will be= Total friends x Cookies each friend will get
Total cookies will be= 3 x 8 = 24
If one box has 6 cookies and we need total 24 cookies so, divide 24 by 6 to get number of boxes
Number of boxes = Total cookies/ number of cookies in one box
Number of boxes = 24/6
Number of boxes = 4
So, Margret need to get 4 boxes of cookies.
