At a busy dinosaur dig site, Emek and Luna helped Dr. Dino pack newly discovered fossils for transport. To protect the fossils, every crate had to hold the same number. Dr. Dino suggested placing 8 fossils in each crate. They filled 6 crates, checking the multiplication as they worked. When they finished, they confirmed that all 48 fossils had been packed evenly. Their careful grouping prepared every crate for a safe trip to the museum.

Hint
Multiply the number of crates by the fossils in each crate.
How many fossils were packed altogether if each of the 6 crates held 8 fossils?
40485456Correct! 6 × 8 = 48 fossils.
Try again. Multiply 6 by 8.
Next🎉 Congrats! You got this question!
Hint
Divide the total number of fossils by the number in each crate.
If 56 fossils are packed using 8 fossils in each crate, how many crates are needed?
Correct! 56 ÷ 8 = 7 crates.
Try again. Divide 56 by 8.

Hint
Find the number of crates by dividing 48 by 8.
Dr. Dino says, "If we have 48 fossils and place 8 in each crate, we will need 5 crates." Is Dr. Dino correct?
Yes, because 5 × 8 = 48.No, because 48 ÷ 8 = 7.No, because 48 ÷ 8 = 6.Yes, because 48 + 8 = 56.Correct! 48 ÷ 8 = 6, so 6 crates are needed.
Try again. Check the division 48 ÷ 8.
