    100 boxes

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A bag of flour weighs 6lbs

    Each box holds 10 bags of flour.

    Therefore, each box weighs (6X10) lbs = 60 lbs

    A warehouse orders 3 tons of flour.

    First, we convert 3 tons to lbs.

    1 U. S tons=2000 lbs

    3 tons = 3 X 2000 lbs = 6000lbs

    Since each box weighs 60lbs,

    The Number of Boxes Required = Total Weight : Weight per Box

    = 6000 : 60

    =100 boxes

    The mill will require 100 boxes to fulfill the order.
