Write -> equation & solve the equation.
24 boxes * 1sleeve/3boxes = 8 sleeves
Thanks! I was just checking my work if I did it right.
I got the same answer by the way =)
To find the number of sleeves Marty buys, we can set up an equation. Let's call the number of sleeves Marty buys "x". Since each sleeve contains 3 juice boxes, we can multiply the number of sleeves by 3 to get the total number of juice boxes. So the equation is:
3x = 24
To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 3:
x = 24 / 3
x = 8
Therefore, Marty buys 8 sleeves of juice.
