How many cartons does Yuri need to use?
Yuri needs to ship an order of 7,200 ornaments to a store. Each large carton holds 64 ornaments. Yuri fills as many cartons as he can with 64 ornaments, and then places any ornaments left over in a smaller carton. How many cartons in all does Yuri need to use?
How many ornaments will there be in the smaller carton?
How many ornaments will there be in the smaller carton?
Answer:
Yuri needs to use 112.5 cartons in total.
The smaller carton will contain 32 ornaments.
Yuri needs to ship 7,200 ornaments to a store. Since each large carton can hold 64 ornaments, Yuri will need to calculate how many cartons he needs to pack all the ornaments.
To find out how many cartons Yuri needs, we can divide the total number of ornaments by the number of ornaments each carton can hold. So, 7,200 ornaments divided by 64 ornaments per carton equals 112.5 cartons.
Since we cannot have a fraction of a carton, Yuri will need to use 113 cartons in total. The last carton will only be able to hold the remaining ornaments left over after filling the larger cartons. This remaining smaller carton will contain 32 ornaments.
