Answer:
42 rotten tomatoes would likely be found in 14 boxes
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Find how many rotten tomatoes are normally found in one box by dividing the amount of rotten tomatoes by the number of boxes they are found in. [tex]12/4=3[/tex]
2) So, now you know that 3 rotten tomatoes are normally found in one box, but the question is asking how many tomatoes would likely be found in 14 boxes which means you need to multiply the amount of rotten tomatoes found in one box by the amount of boxes you want to know about. [tex]3*14=42[/tex]
