Davis has a thin box that is 5 inches wide. He wants to use the box to store markers that are 1/2 inch wide. If he lines up the markers side by side and uses the entire width of the box, how many markers can Davis fit in the box?

10

Width of box, W = 5 inches

Width of marker to be stored in box = 1/2 inch

The number of 1/2 inch marker which can be stored in box is :

5 inches ÷ 1/2 inches

5 / 0.5

= 10

Hence, Ten 1/2-inch width marker can be stored in the box

16.9 times 2.85
