a farmer has 444 eggs. Egg cartons hold 12 eggs. How many cartons does the farmer need?
37. Each carton holds 12 eggs so you do 444 divided by 12.
To determine the number of cartons the farmer needs, we divide the total number of eggs by the capacity of each carton.
Step 1: Find the number of eggs in each carton
Since each carton can hold 12 eggs, we divide the total number of eggs by 12:
444 eggs ÷ 12 eggs/carton = 37 cartons
Therefore, the farmer needs 37 cartons to store all 444 eggs.
