Question

If 88 cookies need to be distributed equally into 8 boxes, then how many cookies would each box have?

Answer 1

$\text{Total number of cookies}=88$
$\text{Total number of boxes}=8$

$\text{Thus, the number of cookies in each box would be}88÷8.$

Let us solve $88÷8$ using long division.
$\therefore$ The quotient is 11.
Hence, each box should have 11 cookies.
