Answer 1

8260 divided by 4 is 2065.
The answer is 2065 tangerines.

Answer 2

Number of oranges farmer ships = 8260

Let us say he ships x number of tangerines.

We are given that he ships 4 times as many oranges as tangerines.

So that means

`4x =8260`

So to find x we divide 8260 by 4

so x = 2065

Answer : The farmer ships 2065 tangerines.
