No, Lingerie cannot give each boy a box of candy.
If Lingerie has 9 packs of candy, and each pack has 5 boxes, then she has a total of 45 boxes of candy.
She wants to give 3 boxes of candy to each boy in the troop, and there are 54 boys in the troop.
3 boxes x 54 boys = 162 boxes of candy needed.
Since Lingerie only has 45 boxes of candy, she does not have enough to give each boy a box of candy.
No, Lingerie cannot give each boy a box of candy.
First, let's calculate the total number of candy boxes Lingerie has:
9 packs x 5 boxes per pack = 45 boxes of candy.
Since Lingerie wants to give 3 boxes of candy to each boy, we need to determine the total number of boxes needed for all 54 boys:
54 boys x 3 boxes per boy = 162 boxes of candy.
As we can see, Lingerie only has 45 boxes of candy, which is not enough to give each of the 54 boys a box of candy.
