Question
- A grocery store has 78 boxes of cereal. They want to put the same number of boxes on each shelf. How many boxes should they put on each shelf?4 boxes
Solution
To find out how many boxes should be put on each shelf, we can divide the total number of boxes (78) by the desired number of boxes on each shelf.
So, 78 divided by 4 equals 19.5.
Since we cannot have a fraction of a box, we need to round up to the nearest whole number.
Therefore, the grocery store should put 20 boxes on each shelf.
