Can you guys please help?

A science fair has 405 projects. The coordinator displays the projects in rows of 42. How many rows have exactly 42 projects?
I really do not understand this. It would really help me if after you have answered the question, you could explain how you got that answer. Thank you!

Answer: x=9

Explanation:

To get the answer, just divide, but you must not count in the rows that have less or more than 42 projects. 405/42=xThere are 9 rows that have exactly 42 projects because 42 x 9 = 378, which is the closest we can get to 405.
