Question

Tom has 11 chocolates to pack into boxes. Each box can have only 5 chocolates. Tom can pack number of boxes.

• A. 2
• B. 3
• C. 1
• D. 10

Answer 1

The correct option is A 2

Tom has 11 chocolates.
Tom will take 5 and pack them into the first box.
So, the number of remaining chocolates $=11-5=6$

Tom will take 5 more chocolates and pack the second box.
Now, the number of remaining chocolates $=6-5=1$

He has only one chocolate left. He can't make one more box with this chocolate.

Thus, for 11 chocolates, he could make only 2 boxes with 5 chocolates in each box.
