Answer:

92

Explanation:

Given:

Number of Paperweights = 1,379

Number of Paperweights that each box can hold = 15

Number of boxes needed = 1379 ÷ 15 = 91.933 boxes

Because 0.933 of a box is of no use to anyone, we simply round this number up to the next whole box and just have the last box partially full.

This gives us 92 boxes.
