Answer 2

By dividing the elevator's maximum capacity (456 kg) by the weight of one box (38 kg), we determine that Suki can safely stack 12 boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many boxes can be stacked safely in the elevator, we divide the maximum weight the elevator can hold by the weight of each box:

1. Calculate the maximum number of boxes: 456 kg ÷ 38 kg/box
2. Perform the division: 12 boxes. Since we cannot have a fraction of a box in this context, Suki can stack 12 boxes.

Therefore, the correct answer is C) 12 boxes. Any more would exceed the weight limit of the elevator.
