Astore clerk has 45 shirts to pack in boxes. each box holds 6 shirts. what is the fewest boxes the clerk will need to pack all the shirts

The fewest boxes the clerk will need to pack all the shirts is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved as a rule of three problem, since the measures(number of shirts and number of boxes) are related.

You have that one box holds 6 shirts. How many boxes are needed for 45 shirts?

We also have to remember that the number of boxes is a natural value. This means that we have to round the value that we find in the rule of three upwards.

So

1 box - 6 shirts

x boxes - 45 shirts

Rounding upwards, the fewest boxes the clerk will need to pack all the shirts is 8.
