Q. A paper factory needs to ship an order for

25,000

sheets of yellow paper. The factory will put

5,000

sheets in each box. How many boxes will the paper factory need to use?

\newline

\_\_\_\_\_

boxes

Calculate Total Sheets: Step $1$ : Determine the total number of sheets and the capacity of each box. $\newline$ Total sheets needed: $25,000$ sheets. $\newline$ Sheets per box: $5,000$ sheets. $\newline$ We need to divide the total sheets by the number of sheets per box to find out how many boxes are needed. $\newline$ Calculation: $25,000 \div 5,000$ .
Find Number of Boxes: Step $2$ : Perform the division to find the number of boxes. $25,000 \div 5,000 = 5$ . So, the factory needs $5$ boxes to ship the paper.
