Question

A furniture store received an order for 8,367 tables they can fit 7 tables in the lower shipping box how many shipping boxes where they need to ship all the tables

Answer 1

1195 boxes are needed to ship all the tables

Solution:

Given that, furniture store received an order for 8,367 tables

They can fit 7 tables in the lower shipping box

To find: Number of shipping boxes needed to ship all the tables

From given,

Total number of tables = 8367

Number of tables fit in one shipping box = 7

Thus, we can find the number of shipping boxes needed to ship all the tables by dividing total number of tables by number of tables fit in one shipping box

$\text{Number of shipping boxes needed } = \frac{\text{Total number of tables}}{\text{Number of table fit in one box}}$

Substituting the values we get,

$\text{Number of shipping boxes needed } = \frac{8367}{7}=1195.28 \approx 1195$

Thus 1195 boxes are needed to ship all the tables
