1 box holds 9 so u divide 108 by 9 to get 12.

U can also multiply 3 and 27 until u get 108. First divide 108 by 27 and get 4. so u then multiply 4 times 3 to get 12.

Answer:

Explanation:

No of books that 3 boxes can hold = 27 books

No of boxes required =(3/27) * 108 = 3*108 / 27 = 3 *4 = 12

12 boxes are required
