Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that A retail store intends to ship out 34,687 brown bedspreads and three times as many green bedspreads.

Let green bedspreads be x

Since we are given that brown bedspreads are tree times of green bedspreads

⇒34,687 = 3x

⇒$\frac{34,687}{3} =x$

⇒11562.33

Thus Total no. of bedspreads = 34,687+11562.33=46249.33

Since each box comtain 68 bedspreads of either colour

So, no. of boxes for 46249.33 bedspreads = $\frac{46249.33}{68}$

                                                                       =680.13

Thus 680 full boxes of bedspreads can be packed

So, 0.13 boxes left

Since 1 box contain 68 bedspreads

So, 0.13 boxes contains bedspreads = 0.13*68=8.84

Hence the bedspread left for the last  box = 8.84
