Solution

The correct option is B 3
Division is known as repetitive subtraction.

Let’s look at the table below, where 18 eggs are kept in boxes, where each box can hold 6 eggs each.
So, by using repeated subtraction:

1.186=122.126=63.66=0

6 is subtracted three times from 18 to get 0.
Therefore,
when 18 cakes are equally put in boxes, then the number of boxes needed is 3.
