Answer:

y/b books

Explanation:

We know that there is a total of y textbooks. These y textbooks came in b boxes, with equal numbers of books in each of these b boxes.

To find how many books are in each box, take the total number of books and divide it by the number of boxes:

y ÷ b = y/b

Thus, there are y/b books in each box.

Hope this helps!
