Answer:

<h2> 934boxes</h2><h2> 4 trips</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the total number of books 42,000

Ok, firstly let us calculate the number of boxes required, given that a box can contain 45 books

number of boxes= 42,000/45

number of boxes=933.3 boxes

approximately 934boxes

Also, given that the truck can carry online 250 boxes in one trip

then it must make 934/250= 3.7 trips

approximately the truck will make 4 trips to carry all the boxes
