Answer:

The number of cartons that the warehouse need to ship all of the books is 26.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A warehouse has 355 books to ship. Each shipping carton holds 14 books.

We have to find the number of cartons that the warehouse need to ship all of the books.

UNITARY METHOD is a method in which we first the value of a single unit and then multiply it with the desired value.

Since, Each shipping carton holds 14 books.

So , 14 books kept in 1 carton

1 book is kept in $\frac{1}{14}$ carton.

Thus, 355 books are kept in $\frac{1}{14}\times 355$ carton.

Simplify, $\frac{1}{14}\times 355=25.35$

Since, the number of cartons must be a whole number so , rounding to nearest number.

We get, The number of cartons that the warehouse need to ship all of the books is 26.
