Question

Pallet can hold up to 36 boxes. You have an order of 120 boxes. How many pallets will be needed for this order?

Answer 1

boxes ÷ boxes/pallet = pallets

 

120/36 = 3 1/3

 

Since we need more than 3 pallets

we will have to use 4.

Answer 2

120 boxes
36 boxes per pallet

 

We must divide our boxes into groups of 36 which will fit on the pallet

120/36 = 3.33

Well we cant take part of a pallet so we need to round this up

3.33 => 4 pallets
