Question

HELP ME, a manufacturing company uses crates to transport boxes of supplies. Two crates can hold 250 boxes. If the company needs to ship 875 boxes, how many crates will they need?

Answer 1

Answer: They will need 4 crates.
250 boxes per crate, so:
875/250 = 3.5
You round up to 4 because you can’t have half a crate, and rounding down would leave out some of the boxes. So you need 4 crates to ship 875 boxes
