Answer: 7

Step-by-step explanation: I got 7. Here's how I got it:

Use the process of elimination. The 2 cannot be divided by 3, because the number (3) we are dividing by, is greater than the primary number (2). If we divided 3 by 2, we would result in a decimal. Then, I took an estimate. I got rid of the 3 because that number would be a low number to divide by 3.

Then I started plugging in numbers:

(6*2) + 5 + 1 + 4 = 22

As we know, 22 is NOT a product of 3.

So, it has to be 7, but I'll prove my answer:

(7*2) + 5 + 1 + 4 = 24

And yes, 24 can be divided by 3 8 times. I hope this helps.

Clarification: I multiply 6 and 7 by 2 because both numbers would go into the 2 boxes.
