Answer :

To solve this question, we will perform a division where 42 is the dividend (the total number of apple pies Liv has) and 9 is the divisor (the number of apple pies that each full box can hold). Step 1: Divide the total number of apple pies by the number that fits in each box. To find out how many full boxes Liv has, we divide 42 by 9. \[ \frac{42}{9} \] Step 2: Perform the division. Dividing 42 by 9, we get: \[ 42 ÷ 9 = 4 \text{ remainder } 6 \] The quotient is 4, which means Liv has 4 full boxes of apple pies. The remainder is 6, which is the number of apple pies left over after filling the full boxes. Step 3: Answer the questions. Liv has 4 full boxes of apple pies. She has 6 apple pies left over. Therefore, the complete answer is: Liv has 4 full boxes of apple pies, and there are 6 apple pies left over.
