Given:
A pound of popcorn is popped for a class party.
Each box holds 120 popped kernels.
There are 1450 kernels in a pound of unpopped popcorn.
All boxes are filled except for the last box
We will find the number of boxes, let the number of boxes = x
So, we can write the following equation:
[tex]120x=1450[/tex]
Solve the equation to find (x):
[tex]x=\frac{1450}{120}=12\frac{1}{12}=12+\frac{10}{120}[/tex]
So, the answer will be option 2
There are 13 boxes, 12 of them filled and 10 popped kernels in the last box
