Let's solve each problem step by step.

Problem 1:
Elliot needs 126 lemons to prepare his lemonade. He buys them in boxes of 15. How many boxes will Elliot need to buy?
#### Solution:
1.
Identify the total number of lemons needed: 126 lemons.
2.
Identify the number of lemons per box: 15 lemons per box.
3.
Calculate the number of boxes required: Divide the total number of lemons by the number of lemons per box.
\[
\text{Number of boxes} = \frac{126}{15}
\]
4.
Perform the division:
\[
126 \div 15 = 8.4
\]
5.
Interpret the result: Since Elliot cannot buy a fraction of a box, he needs to round up to the next whole number. This means he needs 9 boxes to have enough lemons.
#### Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{9}
\]

Problem 2:
Elliot makes 15 gallons of his special blueberry lemonade. He puts the gallon containers into crates of 4 gallons per crate. How many gallons are in the final crate?
#### Solution:
1.
Identify the total number of gallons: 15 gallons.
2.
Identify the number of gallons per crate: 4 gallons per crate.
3.
Determine how many full crates can be filled: Divide the total number of gallons by the number of gallons per crate.
\[
\text{Number of full crates} = \left\lfloor \frac{15}{4} \right\rfloor
\]
4.
Perform the division:
\[
15 \div 4 = 3.75
\]
This means Elliot can fill 3 full crates.
5.
Calculate the remaining gallons for the final crate: Subtract the gallons used in the full crates from the total gallons.
\[
\text{Remaining gallons} = 15 - (3 \times 4) = 15 - 12 = 3
\]
#### Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{3}
\]

Problem 3:
Elliot uses 9 tea bags in each pitcher of his boba tea. If Elliot has 79 tea bags, how many pitchers can he make?
#### Solution:
1.
Identify the total number of tea bags: 79 tea bags.
2.
Identify the number of tea bags per pitcher: 9 tea bags per pitcher.
3.
Calculate the number of pitchers that can be made: Divide the total number of tea bags by the number of tea bags per pitcher.
\[
\text{Number of pitchers} = \frac{79}{9}
\]
4.
Perform the division:
\[
79 \div 9 = 8.777\ldots
\]
5.
Interpret the result: Since Elliot cannot make a fraction of a pitcher, he can only make whole pitchers. Therefore, he can make 8 pitchers.
#### Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{8}
\]
