Eileen collected 78 empty cans to recycle, and Carl collected 62 cans. They packed an equal number of cans into each of seven boxes to take to the recycling center. How many cans were in each box?

20 cans

Step-by-step explanation:

Eileen collected 78 empty cans to recycle

Carl collected 62 empty cans to recycle

They pack equal number of cans in 7 boxes

Therefore the number of cans in each boxes can be calculated as follows.

= 62 + 78/7

= 140/7

= 20

Hence there were 20 cans in each boxes

for ex: the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3. it is the opposite.
