Question

siti bakes 55 vanilla cupcakes and 39 strawberry cupcakes. abox can hold 6 cupbakes. what is the smallest number of boxes needed to hold all the cupcakes.

Answer 1

16 boxes. you have to add 55 vanilla cupcakes and 39 strawberry cupcakes to get the total amount of cupcakes which is

`55 + 39 = 94`
then you must divide by how many cupcakes a box can hold

`94 / 6 = 15.6666666666666666`
but you cant have a fraction of a box so round up to 16

Answer 2

55+39=94 cupcakes in total
94/6=15 2/3
The smallest number of boxes is 16.
