A baker puts 48 muffins into boxes. Each box holds 5 muffins. To find the number of boxes needed, the baker completes the division problem shown.

Answer 1

To find the number of boxes needed to hold 48 muffins, we need to divide the total number of muffins (48) by the number of muffins each box can hold (5).

So, the calculation is:

\[ 48 \div 5 = 9.6 \]

Since the baker cannot use a fraction of a box, we round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, the baker needs 10 boxes to hold all 48 muffins.

In conclusion, the baker needs 10 boxes to pack all the muffins.
