Algebra Challange

 Hi Bloggers!

My class is meant to take someone's from our class questions about algebra and answer them.

I chose my friend Abid.

Thanks for the questions Abid!

Here are the answers:

Question 1:

Syed has to pack 96 cans of beans into a certain amount of box's, each box can hold 8 cans of beans. How many boxes will Syed end up packing?

Strategy:

                                                                                > 96 / 8 = x

                                                                                > 8x = 96

                                                                                > (8)12 = 96

                                                                                > 12 = x

                                                                               > 11 = x
