Final answer:

When dividing 163 checks by the capacity of each envelope, which is 76 checks, there will be 11 checks in the final envelope after two full ones.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many checks will be in the final envelope when Kendall's Floral Shop mails 163 checks to the bank with each envelope containing up to 76 checks, we perform a division operation.

The number of checks (163) is divided by the number of checks that can be put in each envelope (76).

When we divide 163 by 76, we get 2 envelopes with a remainder.

This means that 2 envelopes can be fully filled with 76 checks each, and there will be checks remaining for a last envelope.

To find out how many checks would be in the final envelope, we calculate the remainder of 163 divided by 76:

163 / 76 = 2 remainder 11.

Therefore, there will be 11 checks in the final envelope.
