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 1,600
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?


130 full boxes with 40
popped kernels in the last partially filled box


14boxes, thirteen of them filled and 40
popped kernels in the last box


13 boxes, twelve of them filled and 40
popped kernels in the last box


13 boxes

Answer 1

1600 ÷ 120 = 13 remainder 40, so you need 14 boxes in all: 13 full boxes and the last box has 40 popped kernels.
