### Instruction: Tamantha wants to buy boxes in which to put her 77 compact discs. If each box holds 12 discs, how many does she need to buy?### Response: To find how many boxes Tamantha needs, I need to divide the total number of discs by the number of discs per box.
I can use long division or a calculator to do this.
I'll use a calculator and enter 77 divided by 12.
The calculator gives me 6.4166...
This means that 6 boxes are not enough to hold all the discs, since there will be some left over.
I need to round up the answer to the next whole number, which is 7.
