To solve for the given problem above:
Let x be the number of boxes left after 3 hours
3 * ½ X = 24
3/2 X = 24
X = 24 * 2/3
X = 16
The correct answer is 16.
Answer:
3 boxes will be left after 3 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
The gift shop is having a sale. your friend sells half her stock of key rings every hour.
She has 24 boxes at the start of the sale.
Means after 1 hour she will have = [tex]\frac{24}{2}=12[/tex] boxes left
After 2 hours, she, will have = [tex]\frac{12}{2}=6[/tex] boxes left
And after 3 hours, she will have = [tex]\frac{6}{2}=3[/tex] boxes left
Therefore, the answer is : 3 boxes will be left after 3 hours.
