<span>There are lots of given in this certain item and we are
to note that other given are just there to distract us. In order to answer the
question, what we really need from the given is that there are 480 copies of
books and they arrived in 5 cartons. To determine the number of books in each
carton, we just have to divide 480 by 5 which gives us an answer of 96. </span>
