Question

Hal has 558 cans of soup to put on a shelf.The shelf can hold 72 cans in each row. How many rows can hal make with the soupcans.

Answer 1

588 divided by 72 is 7.75. So 8 shelves in all.

Answer 2

7 rows in total. However, to be more precise, it's 7.75. But you round that down to 7, so 7 exact shelves. All you do is 558 divided by 72, and you get 7.75 which is 7 shelves cause you can't half 7 and .75 shelves
