Question

A grocery store needed eight hundred ninety five cans of peas.If the peas came in boxes with thirty two cans in each box,how many boxes would they need to order?

Answer 1

28 boxes

Explanation:

We need to take the total number of cans needed and divide by the number of cans per box to determine the number of boxes

895 / 32 =27 with 31 left over

Making this a fraction

27 31/32 boxes

We cannot normally order part of a box

Rounding up to the next whole box

28 boxes
