The answer is 5
If you were to take 20 divided by 4 the answer would be 5 books in each box.
Hope this helps :)

Answer:

There are 5 books in 1 box

Explanation:

It is quite easy to solve. You have to use division to figure out how many books go in each box. Our division equation will be: 20 ÷ 4 = ?

We will divide 20 by 4 and our answer is 5.

We can double-check our answer by doing multiplication. 5 x 4 = 20, leading us back to the original 20 books that are in boxes.

So, there are 5 books in each box.

Hope this helps! <3
