William found a different box in his garage. The label outside said it would hold 120 golf balls. If 24 balls fit in each layer, how many layers tall is the box? Show your work.

To determine how many layers tall the box is, we'll use the information provided:

- The box holds a total of 120 golf balls.
- Each layer of the box can hold 24 golf balls.

### Steps to Solve:

1. **Total number of golf balls**: 120
2. **Number of golf balls per layer**: 24

To find the number of layers, we divide the total number of golf balls by the number of golf balls per layer:

\[
\text{Number of layers} = \frac{\text{Total number of golf balls}}{\text{Number of golf balls per layer}} = \frac{120}{24}
\]

3. **Perform the division**:

\[
\frac{120}{24} = 5
\]

So, the box is **5 layers tall**.

1. If the box had 6 layers, how many golf balls could it hold?
2. How many layers would there be if each layer held 30 golf balls?
3. If William adds 2 more layers to the box, how many total golf balls would it hold?
4. What if the box only held 100 golf balls? How many layers would it have then?
5. If each golf ball had a diameter of 4.3 cm, what would be the height of the box?

### Tip:
Dividing the total quantity by the amount per group is a common technique to find out how many groups (or layers, in this case) are needed.
