A warehouse has 355 books to ship. Each shipping carton holds 14 books. How many cartons does the warehouse need to ship all of the books?

To find out how many cartons are needed, divide the total number of books by the number of books per carton. So, 355 books divided by 14 books per carton equals approximately 25.36. Since you can't have a fraction of a carton, you would need to round up. Therefore, the warehouse will need 26 cartons to ship all 355 books. Now, imagine the scene—26 cartons stacked high, with a proud warehouse team ready for delivery. Packing those books efficiently not only helps keep the warehouse organized but ensures that books reach their readers in perfectly packed cartons!
