The number of box is an illustration of proportions
8 boxes must be shown on the grid
The proportion is given as:
[tex]\mathbf{\frac{3}{8} = 18\ eggs}[/tex]
The above proportion means that:
3/8 of the total number of eggs is 18
Let the total number of eggs, be x
So, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{\frac{3}{8} \times x= 18\ eggs}[/tex]
Express 3/8 as a decimal
[tex]\mathbf{0.375 \times x= 18\ eggs}[/tex]
Divide both sides by 0.375
[tex]\mathbf{x= \frac{18}{0.375 }\ eggs}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{x= 48\ eggs}[/tex]
This means that, the total number of eggs is 48, and 8 boxes must be shown on the grid
