A sports store has 468 golf balls. They will be put into boxes that hold 18 balls each. What is the minimum number of boxes needed for all of the golf balls?
Divide the number of golf balls with the number of boxes.
468/18 = 26
You will need a minimum of 26 boxes to fit all the golf balls.
To find the minimum number of boxes needed, we divide the total number of golf balls by the number of balls each box can hold.
Given:
Total number of golf balls = 468
Number of balls each box can hold = 18
To find the minimum number of boxes needed:
1. Divide the total number of golf balls by the number of balls each box can hold: 468 รท 18 = 26.
2. Since you cannot have a fraction of a box, round the result up to the nearest whole number, which is 26.
Therefore, the minimum number of boxes needed is 26.
