To find out how many strawberries are in each basket, we need to divide the total number of strawberries (256) by the number of baskets (6).
Calculating the division:
\[ 256 \div 6 = 42 \quad \text{(whole number part)} \]
Next, we multiply 42 by 6 to find out how many strawberries are used:
\[ 42 \times 6 = 252 \]
Now, we subtract this from the total number of strawberries to find out how many are left over:
\[ 256 - 252 = 4 \]
So, Olivia put 42 strawberries in each basket, and there are 4 strawberries left over.
In summary:
- Each basket contains 42 strawberries.
- There are 4 strawberries left over.
