Instructions: Solve the following problem on a sheet of paper and bring it to school tomorrow.

Farmer Bill has collected 188 organic eggs from his super fit, hormone-free, free-range mega-chickens. One dozen eggs broke when he slipped in the barn, but he will pack the rest in special cartons that hold 9 eggs each. How many cartons will Farmer Bill need to hold all of his eggs?

Hint: He better make sure all eggs get in a carton, even if it isn't full!
