Answer:3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the question, one box can hold 10glasses and we are to discover number of boxes that can hold 36 glasses.

Let x represent the number of boxes that can hold 36 glasses

Therefore,

One box-10glasses

Xbox-36 glasses

Then cross mutiply

10x=36

X=36/10

X=3.6

Therefore, 3.6 boxes will hold 36 glasses

Zaire White · Answer 2

36 : 10 = 3,6

3 < 3,6 < 4

Mel needs 4 boxes because 3 would be not enough.
