What are all of the different ways Jack can store the biscuits?

Question

Jack baked 38 biscuits. He can store them in boxes of 10 biscuits or a single biscuits.

Answer 1

Heather,

 

Start with single biscuits, then start boxing them up and see what you get!

 

(1) 38 single biscuits

 

(2) 1 box (10) + 28 single

 

(3) 2 boxes (10) + 18 single

 

(4) 3 boxes (10) + 8 single.

 

Since there aren't enough biscuits left to make up another box, you're done!  You have 4 different ways you can store the biscuits.
