Question

a baker bakes 1,632 muffins and packs them all into boxes of 24 muffins each. the baker writes 1,632 ÷ 24 to determine the number of boxes used.
how many boxes were used by the baker?
a. 68
b. 67
c. 69
d. 70

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the operation

We need to divide the total number of muffins (1632) by the number of muffins per box (24) to find the number of boxes. The formula is $Number\ of\ boxes = \frac{Total\ muffins}{Muffins\ per\ box}$.

Step2: Perform the division

Calculate $1632 \div 24$. Let's do the division: 24 times 60 is 1440, 1632 - 1440 = 192. Then 192 divided by 24 is 8. So 60 + 8 = 68.

Answer:

A. 68
