Answer 1

1) 12 Trucks, 2) 383 Boxes

 Step-by-step explanation:

1. Question: ¿How many trucks are needed to transport 444 apple boxes from a local harvest in Washington to the city?

Answer: A truck can carry up to 37 apple boxes, so we only have to divide 444 apple boxes by 37 that is the number of maximum boxes in a truck, 444/37= 12, so we need 12 Trucks to transport 444 apple boxes from a local harvest in Washington to the city

2. Question: And if 1 box of apples has a weight of 20kg, how  many boxes are required to pack 7653 kg of apples?

Answer: if we want to know how many boxes are required for 7653kg of apples and 1 FULL apple box has a weight of 20kg the next thing we should do is divide 7653kg by 20kg, the result of the operation is 382.65 BUT since an apple box can´t be a decimal we have to use another box for it, the result is 383 Boxes, we can´t have 382 boxes since 7kg will not be inside of the box, and we cant have 382.65 because we cant dive an apple box, is a defined variable
