Rob has 124 cans of sweet corn to stack on the shelf.If he puts 6 cans in each row,about how many rows will he make.
To solve this problem, we can use the concept of division. We divide the total number of cans, which is 124, by the number of cans in each row, which is 6. This will give us the number of rows.
The formula for division is:
Rows = Total cans / Cans in each row
Substituting the values, we have:
Rows = 124 / 6
Using long division, we can calculate this:
20
___________
6 | 124
12
______
4
Since we can't put a full 6 cans in the remaining 4 cans, we stop here.
Therefore, Rob will make approximately 20 rows.
