he would make 12 phone calls

Step-by-step explanation

so he talks three minutes each time he is on the phone so divide 37 by 3 to get 12.33 with the. 33 repeated but you have to round down to 12 because you have to have a whole number for the calls but even if the number was 12.79 you cant round up to 13 because the number has to be over 13
