Question

Columbia County needs 757 pieces of pipe to repair some water lines. If each box contains 3 pieces of pipe, how many boxes should the county buy?

Answer 1

Answer:

253 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

757/3 = 252.33

Answer 2

You could just divide 757 pieces of pipe by 3 pieces of pipe = 252.3 which is round to 253 since there is no 0.3 box.
