Select the correct expression and value. Ray has 3 boxes of chocolates. Each box has 4 layers of chocolates. Each layer has 4 rows of 4 chocolates each. He distributes all the chocolates equally among 16 friends. Identify the expression and the value that give the number of chocolates that each of Ray’s friends gets.

3x4³ / 16, and the answer is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

He has three boxes of chocolates, so we can take the problem using this approach

3 x (Amount in chocolates)

Since each chocolate box has 4 layers, 4 rows, and 4 colums thats 4x4x4

which can be rewritten as 4³

3x(4³) / (friends)

He splits it among 16 friends

3x4³/16

then to solve it

3 x 4 x 4 x4 /16

I can remove 1 4x4 because thats equal to 16

3x4

12
