Kim bought 3 boxes of waffles and ended up with a total of 21 waffles. How many waffles are in 1 box? Explain your answer. How many waffles would be in 5 boxes? Explain your answer. Your answer:

Answer 1

First we would assume that each box held the same number of waffles. To find the number of waffles in each box, we would divide the total by the number of boxes:

21 ÷ 3 = 7 waffles in each box

7 waffles • 5 boxes = 35 waffles in total
