Declan has 40 markers. He wants to fill boxes with 8 markers each. He divides 40 by 8. What does the answer, 5, represent?
The total number of markers
The number of markers in each box
The number of boxes he needs
The number of markers left after taking 8 away
The answer, 5, represents the number of boxes he needs.
This is because when Declan divides 40 markers by 8 markers per box, he determines how many complete boxes of 8 he can fill with his 40 markers. Since 40 divided by 8 equals 5, it means he can fill 5 boxes.
