Scarlett works for a family run business making picture frames.
Today she needs to make 35 picture frames for an order.
Scarlett uses 4 nails to make each frame.
She has 3 boxes of nails and there are 48 nails in each box.
Has Scarlett got enough nails to make all 35 frames and will she have any spare nails?
Answer:
To find out how many nails she has in 3 boxes: 48 x 3 = 144 nails
To find out how many nails she needs: 35 x 4 = 140 nails
Therefore, she does have enough, with 4 extras.
