Answer 1

`\\ \text{Michael distrinutes  2345 packages of screws into 5 equal groups for shipping.}\\ \\ \text{we need to find the number of packages of screws in each group.}\\ \\ \text{so for this we use the unitary method.}\\ \\ \text{The number of packages of screws in 5 groups}=2345\\ \\ \text{so the number of packages of screws in 1 group}=(2345)/(5)\\ \\ =469`

Hence the number of packages of screws in each shipping box is: 469

Hence option (B) is correct.
