Based on the given information, it can be observed that for every 6 baseballs, there is a decrease of 1 box.
To find the number of boxes needed for 222 baseballs:
1. Subtract 468 (the highest number of baseballs below 222) from 222 to get 222-468 = -246.
2. Divide -246 by 6 to get -246/6 = -41.
3. Add -41 to 78 (the number of boxes needed for 468 baseballs) to get 78 + (-41) = 37.
Therefore, 37 boxes are needed for 222 baseballs.
