Question

Item to ship 58 , items per case 6

Answer 1

Answer: 9 and 2/3 cases  

Step-by-step explanation:

6 goes into 58 9 times to make 54 so makes 4 left over 4/6 simplified makes 2/3.

Answer 2

10 cases

First we divide 58 items by 6 items per case to figure out how many cases we need. We get 9 cases with a remainder of 4 items. We need another case (bringing us up to a total of 10 cases) for the remaining items. Although 4 items does not completely fill a case, we cannot ship a fraction or part of a case, so we need to ship 10 cases.
