Shira packs 170 lemon bars in boxes for the bake sale. Each box holds 8 lemon bars. She takes home the lemon bars tha are leg over after she has filled as many boxes as possible. Ahora use partial quotients to find how many boxes of lemon bars she can fill to sell at the bake sale. She finds only two partial quotients when she divides. Use the numbers in the box to answer the questions

1 2 7 8 20 21 23 27 29

Question:

1. How many full boxes of lemon bars can Shira fill?

2. How many delicious lemon bars will she be taking home?

Answer:

1. Number of filled box = 21

2. Number of take home = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of lemon bars = 170

Each bar contains 8 lemon bars

Required

(1) & (2)

To calculate the number of boxes Shira can fill, we simply divide the total number of bars by constituents of each bar.

i. e.

Number of filled box = 170/8

Number of filled box = 21.25

But here, we only need the quotient of the division because it represents the filled boxed.

So,

Number of filled box = 21

Calculating the number of take home.

We'll follow the same steps as (1) above but here, we only need the remainder of the division.

When 170 is divided by 8, the remainder is 2.

So, number of boxes she'll take home is 2.

See calculation below

Number of take home = 170 % 8

Number of take home = 2
