Question

The food bank received 30 cases of 24 cans of soup, and 20 cases of 48 cans of soup. How many packages of 14 cans of soup can be made?

Answer 1

120 packages of 14 cans can be made.

First we need to find how many cans we have total.

To find this we multiply 30 by 24 which equals 720.

Now we multiply 48 by 20 which equals 960.

Now we add 720 and 960 which is 1,680.

We have a total of 1,680 cans now that we know this we have to find out how many packages we can make if each package has 14 cans.

So we divide 1,680 by 14 which is 120.

We can make 120 packages with 14 cans of soup in each of them.
