Question

John and his little brother, Michael, are helping
their new neighbor unload a moving van. John
can carry 4 boxes in per trip, and Michael can
carry only 2 boxes per trip. Both boys carry the
same number of boxes, but John makes 2 fewer
trips than Michael does. How many trips does
each boy make? How many boxes does each
boy carry? Show your work

Answer 1

Michael made one trip and John made two because Michael can only carry 2 boxes and if both boys carried the same amount of boxes then they're both carrying two boxes for each trip.
