To figure that out, I am going to divide 182÷24 to get my answer so 182÷24=7.583 and I want a whole number so I am going to round it up to 8 so I think they need 8 shelves.

182 games 24 on each shelf basicaaly x shelves is more than or equal to 182 games 1 shelf=24 x times 24>182 divide both sides by 24 x>7 and 4/24 x has to be a whole number since you can't have fractional shelves you have to have more shelves since less shelves won't allow you to carry all of them round up 7 and something rounded u is 8

8 shelves (if you are a weird store that has fractional shelves then the answer is 7 and 1/6 shelves)
