Q. 405 crayons24 crayons in a box boxes of crayons crayons left over
Calculate Boxes Needed: First, we need to figure out how many boxes we can fill with 405 crayons, if each box holds 24 crayons. We do this by dividing the total number of crayons by the number of crayons per box.Calculation: 405 crayons ÷24 crayons/box = 16.875 boxesSince we can't have a fraction of a box, we'll only count the whole boxes, which is 16.
Find Leftover Crayons: Now, we need to find out how many crayons are left over after filling the 16 whole boxes. We do this by multiplying the number of full boxes by the number of crayons per box and then subtracting that from the total number of crayons.Calculation: (16 boxes×24 crayons/box)=384 crayons405 crayons−384 crayons=21 crayons left over
