Question

A farmer needs to ship 71 pumpkins to a grocery store. If each crate can hold 19 pumpkins, how much many crates will the farmer need?

Answer 1

71/19=3.73684210526

you cant have 3.7368421052 boxes so your round it to 4

Answer 2

each crate hold 19 pumpkins. the farmer has 71. so first, divide 71 by 19
71/19=3.74 crates
but since you cant get .74 of a crate, always round it up...hence 4 crates are needed
