Your warehouse has 355 books to ship and each carton can hold fourteen. For this type of problem we will be using division. We will be divided 355 divided me 14 and get 25.3571 but we would have to round it out the the other boxes left over meaning the answer is 26.

Hello,

The answer is "26 cartons".

Reason:

Just divide 355 by 14 for your answer:

355/14=25.3571429

Which would mean that you will need 26 because there would be 3 books left over.

=26 cartons

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!
