Popcorn Boxes
1. **State the problem:** We have 1,450 kernels of unpopped popcorn in a pound. Each small popcorn box holds 130 popped kernels. We want to find how many boxes are needed if all boxes are filled except the last one, and how many kernels are in the last box.
2. **Calculate the number of full boxes:** Divide the total kernels by the capacity of each box:
$$\frac{1450}{130} = 11.1538...$$
This means 11 full boxes and a partial box.
3. **Find the number of kernels in the last box:** Multiply the number of full boxes by the capacity and subtract from total kernels:
$$1450 - (11 \times 130) = 1450 - 1430 = 20$$
So, the last box has 20 kernels.
4. **Conclusion:** There are 11 boxes total, with 10 boxes fully filled (130 kernels each) and the last box containing 20 kernels.
