Kelley belonged to a canoe club that had 18 canoes. They kept their canoes on trailers, each able to carry canoes 2 wide and 3 high. If they had enough trailers for all of their canoes, how many trailers did they have?
If the canoes on one trailer are 2 by 3 then multiply that: 2•3=6, so there are 6 canoes on one trailer. Now there are 18 canoes so divide 18 by the number on 1 trailer: 18/6=3, they would need 3 trailers to carry all 18 canoes :)
