Question

Casey needed to move 23 huge boxes from his truck to the loading dock. His forklift could only hold three boxes at once. How many times did Casey have to visit the loading dock?

Answer 1

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the forklift has a maximum capacity of three boxes per trip, simply divide the total number of boxes (23 boxes) by three and round up to the nearest whole unit to find the number of trips required:

$n=\frac{23}{3}=7.667$

Casey had to visit the dock 8 times. He moved three boxes in seven trips and two boxes in one trip.
