Sam is packingthedrinking glasses from his restaurant into boxes becausethe restaurant is moving. He packs his glasses into boxes until each box is completely full and has an equal number of glasses in each. If after 10 minutes, one box contains 22 glasses, and it takes 2 hours to fill up a box, how many glasses must each box hold?
  1. 164
  2. 264
  3. 462
  4. 162
Explanation
Answer: B - Each box must hold 264 glasses. Since an hour has 60 minutes and you know that after 10 minutes the box had 22 glasses, you would first divide 60 by 10: the answer is 6. You would then multiply 22 by 6 to find out how many glasses were filled after the first hour: the answer is 132. Since there are 2 hours, you would double 132 to get 264.
