The question gives that 9 egg cartons contain 72 eggs.
It then follows that we can find the number of eggs in one carton by division.
Hence, in one carton, we have
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{72}{9} \\ =8\text{ eggs} \end{gathered}[/tex]
We can, therefore, fill the boxes as shown below:
There are 8 eggs in one carton.
