Answer 1

Answer:

8 Boxes are needed..

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{255}{35} = 7.28571428571 ≈8$

A box can only come as a whole, so we have to round it up to 8 to be able to hold all the 255 apples.

Answer 2

Here it is given that one box can hold upto 35 apples.

We have to find the number of boxes to hold 255 apples.

35 apples = 1 box

255 apples = 255 / 35

                   = 7.2857 box

Now, as 7.28 is greater than 7

So, in order to hold 255 apples  at least 8 boxes will be required
