Question 1066548
n apples are to be packed into m boxes so that each box contains the same number of apples.


how many apples will be packed into each box in terms of m and n.


you are looking for the number of apples to be packed into each box.


you would take the number of apples and divide them by the number of boxes.


that will give you the number of apples in each box.


the number of apples per box will be n / m.


for example:


500 apples divided equally into 10 boxes yields 500 / 10 = 50 apples per box.


50 apples in each box times 10 boxes gives you 500 apples.
