Givens

  • 12 cereral boxes occupies 60 centimeters of shelving.
  • The rack has 10 meters of shelving, equivalent to 1000 centimeters.
  • 2 meters are already used.
  • There are 800 centimeters of shelving remaining.

To find the total number of cereal boxes needed to use the whole rack, we just need to use the rule of three: If 12 cereal boxes occupies 60 centimeters of shelving, 800 centimeters would require how many cereal boxes
