91 boxes of apples hold a total of 2,605 apples. Assuming each box has about the same number of apples, estimate the number of apples in each box.

Answer (2)

so you would set it up like this 2605/91 which is 28.63 apples in each box. you cant have a decimal ammount of apples in each box so you round up because you want to have an excess not too less so 29 apples per box aprox

There are approximately 29 apples in each box when dividing a total of 2,605 apples among 91 boxes. This is calculated by dividing the total apples by the total boxes and rounding the result. Since we need a whole number of apples, we round 28.63 up to 29 apples per box.
