Question

A farm packages eggs into cartons that hold two dozen eggs each. Last week, 5,398 eggs were collected. How many cartons will the farm need to package the eggs?

Answer 1

Answer:

225

Step-by-step explanation:

We're told that each carton holds two dozen eggs, or 24 eggs. To find out how many cartons the farm will need, we divide the total amount of eggs by the amount of eggs that fit in each carton. So:

$\frac{5398}{24} = 224.916667$

Since the number is a decimal, you need to round up to make sure every egg is in a carton. So, your answer is 225.
