Herman's Crackers will make 8,678 ounces of cheese crackers next year. The company plans to put the crackers into 34 -ounce boxes. After filling as many boxes as possible, how many ounces of cheese crackers will be left over?

To determine how many ounces of cheese crackers will be left over after filling the boxes, we divide the total ounces of cheese crackers (8,678 ounces) by the box size (34 ounces): 8,678 ÷ 34 = 255.79 boxes. Since we can only fill whole boxes, we fill 255 boxes. To find the total ounces used, we multiply the number of boxes by the box size: 255 boxes × 34 ounces/box = 8,670 ounces. Now, we subtract the total ounces used from the original amount: 8,678 ounces - 8,670 ounces = 8 ounces. So, there will be **8 ounces of cheese crackers left over.**
