Melissa has 24 ribbons. She separates them into 6 different boxes. Each box has ribbons. Together, 3 boxes hold more ribbons than 1 box.

Step-by-step explanation:

4 ribbons for the first dash and 8 for the second.

Each box has 4 ribbons. Together, 3 boxes hold 8 more ribbons than 1 box.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Melissa seperates 24 ribbons equally into 6 boxes, it's just simple division!

24/6 is 4, so 4 ribbons are in each box. Then, the question is asking you to find the difference between the number of ribbons in three boxes, and the number of ribbons in one box. Since there are 4 ribbons in each box, to find how many are in 3 boxes, you multiply 4 times 3 and get 12.

12-4(because 1 box has 4 ribbons and you're subtratcing to find how many more) gives you 8.

Therefore, the answer is 4 ribbons in each box, and 3 boxes hold 8 more ribbons !!

i hope this is what you were looking for.
