[accordion-item title=”Consolidation Prompt:”]

Consider the following scenarios:

  1. There are 112 candy apples in total. All of the candy apples are stored in 4 boxes. How many candy apples are in each box?
  2. There are 112 candy apples. If there are 4 candy apples in each box, how many boxes are there?

For both scenarios above:

    1. What information is given?
    2. What information are you trying to reveal?
    3. Model both scenarios and solve.

Reflect:

How are these scenarios the same? How are they different?
