    138

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We know that there are at least 3 short sleeved shirts and there are at least 7 long sleeved shirts. And we know it's in that ratio. So the best way to start this is to divide 460 by 7+3 to get the single unit amount of both shirts.

    46 is the single unit amount. So 46 * 3 will get us our short sleeved shirts:

    46 * 3 = 138

    To check our answer, we'll take 460-138 and divide that by 7 to see if we get 46:

    322/7 = 46

    So the answer is correct!
