Question

Camp oaks kids 32 boxes of orange juice and 56 boxes of apple juice each shelf in the cup board can hold eight boxes of juice what is the least number of shelves needed for all the juice boxes

Answer 1

the answer would be 11 shelfs 

Answer 2

we are given

Camp oaks kids 32 boxes of orange juice and 56 boxes of apple juice

so,

total number of orange juice boxes =32

total number of apple juice boxes =56

now, we can find total number of juice boxes

total number of juice boxes = total number of orange juice boxes+total number of apple juice boxes

total number of juice boxes =32+56

total number of juice boxes =88

now, we have

One shelf can hold 8 boxes

so,

8 boxes = 1 shelf

now, we have to find number of shelves when number of boxes is 88

so, firstly we will find number of shelves in 1 box

8 boxes = 1 shelf

we can divide both sides by 8

(8/8) boxes = (1/8) shelf

1 box = (1/8) shelf

now, we can find for 88 boxes

so, we will multiply both sides by 88

88*1 boxes = 88*(1/8) shelf

88 boxes = 11 shelves

So, the least number of shelves needed for all the juice boxes are 11 shelves........Answer
