Tyson Koch · Answer 1

8 grape and 16 cranberry

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, we need to know what one-third of 24 boxes are; we'd then do 24 divided by 3, which is equal to 8. One-third of them were grape so we know 8 are grape. Cranberry makes up the other two-thirds; two-thirds is equal to one-third times 2. 8 (one-third) times 2 is 16, giving our answer of 16 cranberry.
