Question

Mila is packing 18 jars into boxes. Each box will hold 4 jars. How many boxes will she fill? How many jars will be left over? (1 point) Responses 8 boxes filled with 2 jars left over 8 boxes filled with 2 jars left over 4 boxes filled with 2 jars left over 4 boxes filled with 2 jars left over 4 boxes filled with 0 jars left over 4 boxes filled with 0 jars left over 3 boxes filled with 2 jars left over

Answer 1

To determine how many boxes Mila will fill and how many jars will be left over, we need to divide the total number of jars (18) by the number of jars each box can hold (4).

1. Calculating the number of boxes filled:
\[
18 \div 4 = 4 \quad \text{(this gives us 4 full boxes)}
\]

2. Now, calculating the total number of jars used in those boxes:
\[
4 \text{ boxes} \times 4 \text{ jars/box} = 16 \text{ jars}
\]

3. Subtracting the number of jars used from the total number of jars:
\[
18 \text{ jars} - 16 \text{ jars} = 2 \text{ jars left over}
\]

Therefore, Mila will fill **4 boxes** with **2 jars left over**.

The correct response is: **4 boxes filled with 2 jars left over.**
