Question

There are 1080 red pens divided evenly into 12 boxes. How many pens are there in each box.

Answer 1

You divide 1080 by 12. The answer is 90. There are 90 pens in each box

Answer 2

You need to divide the number of pens by the number of boxes. This will show you how many pens there are in each box:

There are 1,080 pens, and there's 12 boxes, so you do 1,080 ÷ 12 = 90

Therefore, there are 90 pens per box.
