Question

Siti bakes 55 vanilla cakes and 39 strawberry cakes. A box can hold 6 cakes. What is the smallest number of boxes needed to hold all the cakes?​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Answer 1

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

total number of cakes baked=55+39=94 cakes

1 box can hold 6 cakes

let the number of box need to hold 94 cakes be x

:- 1 = 6 cakes

x = 94 cakes

cross multiply to get :

6x=94

divide both side by the coefficient of x i.e 6

6x/6=94/6

x= 15.7

because it a real object, the minimum nuber of boxes is 16
