Given:
Total number of colored pencils = 16
Colored pencils fit in a box = 8
To find:
The number of boxed that will fit the 16 pencils.
Solution:
According to the question 8 colored pencils will fit in a box. So, we have
8 pencils = 1 box
Multiply both sides by 2.
2×8 pencils = 2×1 box
16 pencils = 2 box
Therefore, 2 boxes are required to fit the 16 colored pencils.
