Mrs. Jackson had 493 canned goods that she collected for the annual canned food drive. She put all the cans in 7 equal piles. About how many cans are in each pile?
To find the approximate number of cans in each pile, divide the total number of cans by the number of piles: 493 cans / 7 piles = <<493/7=70>>70 cans/pile. Answer: \boxed{70}.
To find out how many cans are in each pile, divide the total number of cans (493) by the number of piles (7).
493 ÷ 7 = 70.4285714
Since it's not possible to have a fraction of a can, we can approximate the answer to the nearest whole number.
Approximately, there are 70 cans in each pile.
To find out approximately how many cans are in each pile, we can divide the total number of cans by the number of piles.
Given that Mrs. Jackson had 493 canned goods and divided them into 7 equal piles, we need to perform the following calculation:
493 / 7
To divide these numbers, we divide 493 by 7:
493 ÷ 7 = 70.42857142857143
Therefore, approximately 70 cans are in each pile.
