Question: Eli picks up 288 seashells at the beach. He divides them evenly among 12 boxes. Then, he gives 7 boxes of seashells to Lincoln. How many seashells does Lincoln get?
Answer: 168 seashells
Solution: When Eli divides the 288 seashells into 12 boxes, he puts 288 ÷ 12 = 24 seashells in each box. Since Lincoln gets 7 boxes, he gets 24 × 7 = 168 seashells.
