At a potato chip factory there were 41 machines
working with each machine able to produce 72
chips a minute. if this is enough potato chips to
fill 3 shipping boxes, how many chips are there
per box? how do you know?

I got 984 chips per box. (I could be wrong)*

Step-by-step explanation:

My very un-detailed explanation: So you know that there are 41 machines in this potato chip factory and each machine can produce 72 chips every minute. And if this is enough to fill 3 shipping boxes, then the steps to solve this problem is as follows

1. 41x72=2954 I did this to find the total number of chips that all of the 41 machines make every minute.

2. 2954/3=984 I did this because we know that "2954" chips is the total amount of chips in 3 boxes so to find the amount of chips in each box, we would divide the total number of chips by 3.

984 Chips per box

Step-by-step explanation:

41 x 72 = 2952 ÷ 3 (boxes) = 984
