At a Saturday morning job, Beatriz stuffs 611 envelopes with 2 pages each and must pack them into y boxes for easy transportation to the post office. If there are 13 boxes, how many envelopes should Beatriz put in each box?

the number of boxes needed will be 47 because it take puting 47 in to each box to not have to put them in 14 or more boxes.
