To determine how many trips Anton will need to move 51 boxes, we can use simple division. Since Anton can carry 3 boxes per trip, we start by dividing the total number of boxes by the number of boxes he can carry each trip:
51 boxes รท 3 boxes/trip = 17 trips
However, it’s important to note that since we can’t have a fraction of a trip, we need to round up any remaining boxes to ensure they are all accounted for. In this case, after 17 trips, he would have moved 51 boxes exactly (17 trips x 3 boxes = 51 boxes) without any remainder. Therefore:
Anton will need 17 trips to move a total of 51 boxes.
