About 285 should go into each box

All you have to do is divide 5135 by 18

Answer: 287

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A store owner bought a large box of 5135 paper clips

He wants to repackage the paper clips into 18 smaller boxes each box that contain the same amount of paper clips .

Then by using the division operation ,  the number of clips should the store owner put into each the box :-

\(5135\div18=285.277777778\approx285\)  [Rounded to the nearest whole number.]

∴ The store owner should put 287 paper clips into each the box.
