Answer:
2 books are left
Explanation:
Given:
Total books Lamont have = 30
Each Box holds = 7 books
To find:
Books left over = ?
Solution:
He has total books = 30
One box will hold = 7 books
Now we have to find that how many books are left when he will fill each box completely
So it means that he can not have a half box filled he have to fill a box complete and then he can go to other box.
Now
Number of boxes he need for all 30 boxes =
Number of boxes he need for all 30 boxes =
Number of boxes he need for all 30 boxes = 4.28 boxes
as there could not 4.28 boxes
so the integer near to 4.28 is 4
so we will have 4 boxes in total
Now 4 boxes will hold = 4 * 7 books
= 28 books
No of books left = 30 -28
= 2 books
So he will have a total of 4 boxes in which 28 books can be stored and books left are 2
