Answer: Around seven boxes.


Step-by-step explanation: In each box, there will be 12 video games and there are 80 video games in all, so all you have to do is divide 80 by 12, but you get 6.6666... So estimate. 6 times 12 equals 72, and 80-72 equals 8, so 6 boxes will hold 12 video games and the 7th will hold 8

Answer:

7 boxes will be needed.

Explanation:

7x12=84. So enough room but with some space left.

6 is not enough. 6x12=72. Which will not hold 8 of the games.
