Question

There are 1,215 souvenir paperweights that need to be packed in boxes. Each box will hold 14 paperweights. How many boxes will be needed?

Answer 1

You divide 1215 by 14 and it should give you approximately 87 boxes.

Answer 2

To find out how many boxes will be needed to pack 1,215 souvenir paperweights, we can divide the total number of paperweights by the number of paperweights that can fit in one box.

Number of paperweights that can fit in one box = 14

Total number of paperweights = 1,215

Number of boxes needed = Total number of paperweights / Number of paperweights that can fit in one box

Number of boxes needed = 1,215 / 14 ≈ 86.79

Since we cannot have a fraction of a box, we need to round up to the nearest whole number of boxes. Therefore, we need a total of 87 boxes to pack all 1,215 souvenir paperweights.
