Answer:

She will need 8 boxes.

Explanation:

Given that,

Total no of seashells = 125

She gives her little brother Chris 53 seashells.

Remaining seashells = 125 - 53

= 72

Regina wants to put her remaining seashells in Little Boxes. There will be 9 seashells in each box.

No of boxes needed = remaining seashells/total no of seashells in each box


=(72)/(9)\\\\=8

Hence, she will need 8 boxes.
