thank you

To find the number of boxes of eight that can be filled with 684 notecards, you need to divide the total number of notecards by the capacity of each box.
Dividing 684 by 8 gives us: 684 รท 8 = 85.5
Now, since a box cannot be filled with a fraction of a notecard, the remainder of dividing 684 by 8 (0.5) cannot be used to fill a complete box. Instead, you have to consider how many boxes you can fill completely.
In this case, you can fill 85 complete boxes of eight notecards each. However, since there is a remainder of 0.5 notecards, it means that there will be notecards left over that cannot be placed in a complete box.
To represent this, you can say that 85 boxes can be filled completely, and there will be 0.5 notecards left over.
To notate the remaining notecards, you could use a decimal fraction (0.5) or represent it as half a notecard. You could also consider it as an incomplete box that is missing one notecard.
Therefore, the answer is that Lucienne and her class can fill 85 complete boxes of eight notecards each. But there will be a remainder of 0.5 notecards, which cannot fill a complete box.
