Final answer:

To find the number of boxes of soda shipped out of the factory each day, divide the total number of cans by the number of cans in each box.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of boxes of soda shipped out of the factory each day, we need to divide the total number of cans of soda by the number of cans in each box.


  1. Calculate the total number of cans of soda by multiplying the average number of cans made per day (12,220) by the number of days.

  2. Divide the total number of cans by the number of cans in each box (65) to get the number of boxes of soda.

Therefore, the factory ships out approximately 187.84 boxes of soda each day.
