Answer:
Therefore we can say that 98 boxes will be needed to hold all the paperweights.
Step-by-step explanation:
i) there are 1657 souvenir paperweights that need to be packed in boxes.
ii) each box will hold 17 paperweights
iii) therefore the number of boxes that will be needed are
= [tex]\dfrac{total\hspace{0.15cm} number\hspace{0.15cm} souvenir\hspace{0.15cm} paperweights}{number\hspace{0.15cm} of\hspace{0.15cm} paperweights\hspace{0.15cm} per\hspace{0.15cm} box}[/tex] = [tex]\dfrac{1657}{17}[/tex] = 97.471
iv) Therefore we can say that 98 boxes will be needed to hold all the paperweights.
