A store owner started the day with 630 kiwis. He sold
25 of the kiwis and gave
13 of the remainder away. He placed the rest into containers of 42. How many containers would he need?

2 u |
1 u |
2 u |
5 u |
Total number of kiwis = 5 u
5 u = 630
1 u = 630 ÷ 5 = 126
Number of kiwis that were left
= 2 u
= 2 x 126
= 252
Number of containers that the store owner would need
= 252 ÷ 42
= 6
Answer(s): 6
