Question

The orange grove produced 892 crates of oranges. Each train car holds 112 crates . What is the minimum number of train cars they will need ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Minimum number of train cars needed equals 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the train cars used be x

Each train car holds 112 crates of oranges.

Crates of oranges in x cars=112x

The orange grove produced 892 crates of oranges.

i.e. 112x=892

x=7.96≈8

Hence, Minimum number of train cars needed equals 8

Answer 2

The minimum number of train cars needed is 8 because 112 multiplied by 8 is 896 which means 7 trains will be full and the last one will only carry 108 crates
