Lingerie has 9packs of candies.there are 5 boxes of candy in each pack.He wants to give 3 box of candy to each boy in his troop.There are 54 boys in his troops.can lingerie give each boy a box of candy, yes or no? with explanation

Answer 1

No, Lingerie cannot give each boy a box of candy.

If Lingerie has 9 packs of candy, and each pack has 5 boxes, then she has a total of 45 boxes of candy.

She wants to give 3 boxes of candy to each boy in the troop, and there are 54 boys in the troop.

3 boxes x 54 boys = 162 boxes of candy needed.

Since Lingerie only has 45 boxes of candy, she does not have enough to give each boy a box of candy.
