A box can hold 24 crayons. How many boxes must be used to put all of Mr. Syed's 98 crayons into boxes?

5. Divide 98 by 24 and you'll get 4.08. Since you need to put all of them into boxes, you have to round that up to the next whole number.

98/24 = 4 r2

So it's be four full boxes and one with two and four plus one is five

5 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total crayons : 98

Capacity of each box : 24

Number of boxes of 24 crayons needed to hold 98 crayons,

= 98 : 24

= 4.08 boxes.

However since we cannot have 0.08 of a box, we must round this up to the next larger whole number of boxes.

4.08 rounded up to next whole number = 5

Hence he will need 5 boxes to hold all 98 crayons
