The hospital shop buys cereal bars in boxes of 4.

In one day they sell 58 individual cereal bars.

How many boxes of cereal bars did they open that day?

We know that the hospital shop buys cereal bars in boxes of 4.In one day they sell 58 individual cereal bars.

Improper fraction - 58/4

= 14 1/2 Mixed fraction

There can not be 1/2 so there are going to be 15 boxes opened.
