Question

How many apples are packed in each box if we pack 28 apples in 7 boxes?

• A. 2
• B. 4
• C. 6
• D. 7

Answer 1

The correct option is B 4

We need to find the number of apples packed in each box if we pack 28 apples in 7 boxes.

Let us do repeated subtraction to find the number of apples in each box.

28 - 7 = 21
21 - 7 = 14
14 - 7 = 7
7 - 7 = 0

So, after 4 times all the apples were packed in boxes.

Thus, 4 apples are packed in each box.
