Question

Marcy baked 132 cookies . She is packaging boxes of eight cookies to give as a gift to he friends how many boxes will she make .

Answer 1

She will make 16 boxes.

To answer this question we simply have to divide the number of cookies (132) by the number of cookies that each box can contain.

Mathematically speaking:

`132/8\text{ }`
`16.5`

Since we can´t have half boxes, we have to round the number to 16.

16 boxes.
