Question

Deshaun needs 268 programs for the school play on Thursday. How many boxes of programs will he need, given that each box contains 49 programs?

Answer 1

6 boxes

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Total number of programs (P): 268 programs

Number of programs per box (P/B): 49 programs/box

Step 2: Calculate how many boxes will he need

We can calculate the number of boxes he will need by dividing the total number of programs by the number of programs per box.

B = P / (P/B)

B = 268 P / (49 P/B) = 5.46 B

He will need more than 5 boxes, that is, 6 boxes.
