Solve the word problem- How many boxes did Lena use?

Question

Lena baked 3 dozen cookies for a school fundraiser. She packed them into small boxes, with 6 cookies in each box.

Answer 1

First we need to understand the problem: What do we know? Theres 3 dozen cookies total and 6 cookies in each box. What is the question? How many boxes of cookies does Lena pack?

Next we make a plan: What do we need to do to solve this problem. I know I need to change 3 dozen so that involves multiplication first then I need to split that total into boxes with 6 in each box. The word each is a clue and also since I'm splitting them up I know I need to divide next.

Next I need to solve: 1 dozen = 12

3 x 12 = 36 cookies total

36 ÷ 6 = 6

Lena will pack 6 boxes of cookies for the fundraiser.

Answer 2

1. We need to know how many cookies she baked.

One dozen = 12, so 3 dozen × 12 cookies = 36 cookies

1. 36 cookies to divide into boxes of 6.

36 ÷ 6 = 6 boxes She used 6 boxes.

Equation: (12 × 3) ÷ 6 = b

Answer 3

1 dozen= 12 cookies. 3 dozen = 36 cookies. One box= 6 boxes. 36/6=6. Lena packed 6 boxes.

Answer 4

1 dozen =12 cookies

so, 3 dozen = 3*12 =36 cookies

Each box holds 6 cookies

So, number of boxes will written as

36/6= 6
