Greg, an office manager, needs to order 540,000 pushpins for his company. If the pushpins come in boxes of 900, how many boxes should Greg order?
To find out how many boxes Greg should order, we need to divide the total number of pushpins by the number of pushpins in each box.
The total number of pushpins is 540,000.
The number of pushpins in each box is 900.
To find the number of boxes Greg should order, we can divide 540,000 by 900:
540,000 / 900 = 600.
So, Greg should order 600 boxes of pushpins.
