Mrs. williams is organizing her office supplies. there are 3 open boxes of paper clips in her desk drawer. each box has 7/8 of the paper clips remaining. how many boxes of paper lips are left?
To calculate the number of boxes of paper clips Mrs. Williams has, we simply multiply the number of open boxes to the remaining paper clips per box. We calculate as follows:
3 boxes ( 7/8 paper clips per box ) = 2.625 paper clips remaining
Which means there are 2 boxes and 5/8 paper clips left. Hope this answers the question.
