To estimate the number of trucks needed, you can round the total boxes to 4,700 and the truck capacity to 600. Dividing 4,700 by 600 gives you approximately 7.83. This suggests that David will need at least 8 trucks to ensure all the boxes are shipped safely!
To confirm, if you divide 4,719 by 550, you get about 8.58. Since you can’t use a fraction of a truck, you’ll round up to 9 trucks in total, meaning the best answer is A. 9 trucks!
