Monday electric bulbs sold= 12 Tuesday electric bulbs sold =16 Wednesday electric bulbs sold=8 Thursday electric bulbs sold= 10 Friday electric bulbs sold =14 Saturday electric bulb sold=8 Sunday electric bulbs sold=18 Answer:- If one big carton can hold 9 bulbs.How many cartons were needed in the given week?

Question

Answer

Calculating the number of cartons needed:

- Total electric bulbs sold in a week = 12 + 16 + 8 + 10 + 14 + 8 + 18 = 86 bulbs

Number of cartons needed:

- Number of bulbs in one big carton = 9 bulbs
- Number of cartons needed = Total electric bulbs sold / Number of bulbs in one big carton
- Number of cartons needed = 86 bulbs / 9 bulbs ≈ 9.56

As we cannot have a fraction of a carton, we need to round up to the nearest whole number.

Therefore, a total of 10 cartons would be needed to store all the electric bulbs sold in the given week.

Answer

Add up all the bulbs sold and divide by nine. If there is a remainder then answer is quotient +1
