Answer:

Kira will require exactly four baskets.

Explanation:

The given information we know is..

- Kira is responsible for transporting 170 apples from a farm to the market.

- Each basket has a capacity of 46 apples.

We must divide 170 apples by 46 apples in order to solve this problem.

170/46 ( When I use the / symbol, it indicates to divide.)

170/46 = 3.69565217391

We'll have to round it up because we can't actually accept 3.69 bags. So the answer is 4 baskets.

Kira will need approximately 4 baskets.

Hope this helps! :D

Answer:

4 baskets

Explanation:

Since 170 divided by 46 equals 3 with a remainder of 32, you use the remainder,32, and change it to one more basket so 3+1=4 so Kira needs 4 baskets.
