Each day a machine makes 500000 staples and puts them into boxes. The machine needs 165 staples to fill a box.
How many boxes will be filled with the 500,000 staples?

3031 boxes will be filled with staples

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the machine makes 500000 in a day

So total staples = 500000

Staples in a box = 165

In order to find how many boxes the machine will make, the total number of staples has to be divided by the number of staples in a box.

So,

As no staples can be left out of box, we will round off the number to next number.

So,

3031 boxes will be filled with staples

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%
