Question

Quan is inviting 3 friends to a party. Each friend wants 8 cookies and each box has 6 cookies.How many boxes should Quan get?

Answer 1

First, figure out how many total cookies you need. You do this by multiplying the number of friends times the number of cookies each friend will get.

8 x 3 = 24

Then, you take the number of cookies and divide it by the number in each box to find the number of boxes you need.

24/6 = 4

Quan should get 4 boxes.
