Remark
This does not resemble reality or the definition of a cup is not the one normally used. It is just a math question.
Givens
Total cups in the box = 1312 cups
Total cups consumed in a day = 112
Formula
Days = total cups in the box / cups per day
Substitute and solve
Days = 1312 / 112
Days = 11.7 days which is nowhere near the answers given, but it is what I get. If one of us has made an error please point it out.

The box of cereal has 1312 cups, and Maria's children eat 112 cups each day. To find out how many days the box will last, divide the total amount of cups in the cereal by how many cups are eaten each day:
[tex]1312 \div 112 = 11.7[/tex]
Round the number to the nearest ones place:
11.7
7 > 5
11.7 -> 12
We round this number because on the 12th day, there's cereal still remaining in the box.
The box of cereal will last for 12 days.
