Question

There are 8 boxes, which contain a total of 56 sweaters, in a store warehouse. If the store needs 35 sweaters, how many boxes should they take?

Answer 1

The store should take 5 boxes.

Explanation:

First, find the number of sweaters in each box. If we assume that there is an even amount of sweaters in each box, then we just need to divide the number of boxes by the total number of sweaters. There are 7 sweaters per box. If the store needs 35 sweaters, then they should take 5 boxes, because 5 boxes times 7 sweaters per box is 35 sweaters.
