Question

A pound of popcorn is popped for a class party. The popped corn is put into small popcorn boxes that each hold 120
popped kernels. There are 1,450
kernels in a pound of unpopped popcorn. If all the boxes are filled except for the last box, how many boxes are needed and how many popped kernels are in the last partially filled box?

Answer 1

Divide 1,450 by 120: 1,450 ÷ 120 = 12 remainder 10.
So you need 13 boxes total (12 full boxes and 1 partially filled), and the last box contains 10 popped kernels.
