Your mom bought a new container to hold all of her cooking spices. The container is 24 inches long. If
each spice box is 1.6 inches long, how many will fit
into the new container?

15 spice boxes can fit

Step-by-step explanation:

24 ÷ 1.6 = 15

15

Step-by-step explanation:

all we need to do is 24/1.6 which is 15

x=30

step-by-step explanation:

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
