Three families live in the same apartment building. They decided to share a giant 220-ounce container of laundry detergent. If the families split the detergent equally, how many ounces of laundry detergent will each family get?​

They will get 73 ounces of laundry detergent because 220 divided by 3 is 73.33333333 but you can't have a decimal of a ounce so they each get 73 ounces of laundry detergent.
