Sally has 108 muffins,which he needs to box up, 6 of which are blueberry, into dozens. How many boxes does he need
108/12 = ______ boxes
To determine how many boxes Sally needs, we need to calculate the total number of muffins in dozens and then divide by 12 (as there are 12 muffins in a dozen).
First, let's calculate the total number of muffins in dozens. Sally has 108 muffins, so we divide 108 by 12:
108 muffins ÷ 12 = 9 dozen muffins
Now, we know there are 9 dozen muffins in total.
However, the question states that out of the 108 muffins, 6 are blueberry. We need to exclude the blueberry muffins when calculating the number of boxes required.
Subtracting the blueberry muffins from the total:
9 dozen muffins - 6 muffins = 8 dozen muffins
Therefore, Sally needs 8 boxes to pack up the muffins.
