Math Problem of the Week - Upper Elementary - June 27, 2021 to July 3, 2021

Upper Elementary: 

Question: Nora makes 90 homemade crayons. A small box can hold 8 crayons, and a large box can hold 24 crayons. If she fills 4 small boxes with crayons, how many large boxes will she need for the rest of the crayons?

Answer: 3 large boxes

Solution: Four small boxes hold 8 x 4 = 32 crayons, leaving 90 - 32 = 58 crayons unboxed. So, Nora can put 48 into 2 large boxes and the rest into a 3rd large box.
