Question

Miss Dennison is picking up the books in her classroom for the summer each box holds 9 books she has 24 math books in 27 science books to pack how many boxes will she need

Answer 1

To determine how many boxes she will need, first step is to calculate how many books Miss Dennison has in total, that is the math books + the science books:

$24+27=51$

She can only pack 9 books per box, to determine how many boxes she needs you have to divide the number of books by the number of books that fit each box:

$\frac{51}{9}=5.67$

This means that she will fill 5 boxes with 9 books and a sixth one will have only 6 books.

She will use a total of 6 boxes.
