Ava ate 5 wheat crackers, or 5% of the entire box. How many crackers were in the box?(1 point)

Question

There were
crackers in the box.

Answer 1

If 5 wheat crackers represent 5% of the entire box, we can find the total number of crackers in the box using the formula:

\[ \text{Total crackers} = \frac{\text{Number of crackers eaten}}{\text{Percentage eaten}} \]

In this case:

\[ \text{Total crackers} = \frac{5}{0.05} \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ \text{Total crackers} = 100 \]

So, there were 100 crackers in the box.
