Question

Timothy is sorting his building blocks into 8 bins. Each bin can hold 286 blocks. He has already put 74 blocks in the bins. How many more blocks does Timothy need to sort?

Answer 1

Answer: 2214 blocks

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that Timothy is sorting his building blocks into 8 bins and that each bin can hold 286 blocks. Therefore, the total blocks that the bins would hold would be:

= 286 × 8

= 2288 blocks.

We are further told that he has already put 74 blocks in the bins. The number of remaining blocks that Timothy need to sort would be:

= 2288 - 74

= 2214 blocks
