One shelf will hold 45 pounds of boxes. if you have to store 270 pounds of boxes, how many shelves will you need?

Hi!

We will solve this using ratios, like this:

1 shelf holds 45 pounds

x shelves hold 270 pounds

x = (270*1)/45

x = 270/45

x = 6

6 shelves will be needed to hold 270 pounds of boxes.

Hope this helps!
