To determine how many boxes Mila will fill and how many jars will be left over, we need to divide the total number of jars (18) by the number of jars each box can hold (4).
-
Calculating the number of boxes filled: \[ 18 \div 4 = 4 \quad \text{(this gives us 4 full boxes)} \]
-
Now, calculating the total number of jars used in those boxes: \[ 4 \text{ boxes} \times 4 \text{ jars/box} = 16 \text{ jars} \]
-
Subtracting the number of jars used from the total number of jars: \[ 18 \text{ jars} - 16 \text{ jars} = 2 \text{ jars left over} \]
Therefore, Mila will fill 4 boxes with 2 jars left over.
The correct response is: 4 boxes filled with 2 jars left over.
