Question

There are 83 eggs that need to be put away in egg cartons that hold 6 eggs each. How many egg cartons are necessary to put away all of the eggs? Explain

Answer 1

Answer: 14 cartons

Step-by-step explanation:

83 ÷ 6 = 13.833, but there can't be fractions of a cartoon. There can't be anything like 0.83 cartoon.

So we round it up to the nearest whole number, which gives 14 cartons.
