Question

At a carnival there is an egg toss. There are 314 students in the school. 12 eggs are in one carton. How many cartons are needed so each student gets an egg?

Answer 1

You would need to get 27 cartons of eggs so that each student could have 1 egg. You can find this answer by dividing the 314 students by the 12 eggs per carton, which shows that you would need 26.166 cartons. Unfortunately, you cannot buy cartons by specific measurements, so you would need to round up to 27 cartons with a few eggs left over.
