A truck delivers 9 cases of canned corn. Each case hold 8 cans of corn when the cases are unpacked, 18 of the cans are missing. The store manager places 4 cans of corn on each shelf how many full shelves can the store manager make from the cans of corn delivered by the truck

13 full shelves

Step-by-step explanation:

From that above question:

A truck delivers 9 cases of canned corn. Each case hold 8 cans of corn

1 case = 8 cans of corn

9 cases =

9 × 8 cans = 72 cans of corn

Hence, the truck delivers 72 cans of corn

We are told that:

When the cases are unpacked, 18 of the cans are missing.

Hence, the amount of case that we have left. =

72 cans - 18 cans

= 54 cans of corn

The store manager places 4 cans of corn on each shelf

This means Mathematically

1 shelf = 4 cans of corn

Hence, the full shelves can the store manager make from the cans of corn delivered by the truck is calculated as:.

4 cans of corn = 1 shelf

54 cans of corn = x

4 × x = 54 × 1

x = 54/4

x = 13 2/4

x = 13 1/2 shelves.

Hence, the manager can make 13 full shelves from the cans of corn delivered by the truck
