Question

a warehouse holds 460 boxes. They ship out 65 boxes each week. After how many weeks will the warehouse have less than 100 boxes remaining?

Answer 1

It should take 6 weeks until the warehouse has less than 100 boxes remaining

Answer 2

Start playing around with multiplication or subtraction. Multiplication for example, 4 (weeks) x 65 (boxes each week) = 260 460-260=200 so not enough…subtraction way 460-65=395, 395-65=330, etc. So with multiplication 6x65=390, 460-390=70. It will take 6 weeks before the warehouse has less than 100 boxes remaining.
