Problema Solution
An office uses 5 boxes of envelopes every 3 weeks.Find how many boxes should be purchased to last a year. Round to the nearest box. Could you explain this step by step please? Thank you

there are 52 weeks in a year
divide 52 by 3
52/3 = 17.3
you need 5 boxes for each of those 3 weeks
so 5 * 17.3 = 86.5
round up since you can't have .5 of a box
you need 87 boxes
