Amiah Ingram · Answer 1

128 individual books. Mrs Ames could pack about 6 full boxes.

Explanation:

To find a third of 24 divide 24 by 3 you'll find that 1/3 of 24 is 8 so 2/3 of 24 is 16. Multiply 8 by 16 to find how many books Mrs. Ames has total. She has 128 individual books. take 128 and divide that by 24 this should give you the number of boxes Mrs. Ames needs if all the boxes were to be packed full which is 5.333 boxes round up to 6 boxes. Wasn't exactly sure what was being asked so I gave both answer to the questions I thought they could've been.
