Hank ordered 58 t-shirts. He organized the t-shirts into 3 boxes. If he wanted each box to have about the same number of t-shirts, approximately how many t-shirts would he need to put in each box?

ShadexX:

Well, if you divide 58 by 3, you get 19.33333333 repeating. So i'd say, there's approximately 19 shirts in each box!

janiya10:

ShadexX:

Im terrible at explaining this type of stuff, I've got the answer, not the explanation though.

There isn't much to this question! All you need to do is divide 58 by 3 since you are splitting all 58 t-shirts between 3 boxes. Since the answer is approximately 19.3, we have to round up since we can't have .3 of a shirt! And we can't around down because then what do we do with that extra shirt??
