so this is supposed to be a trick question read is closely it says that she packs 40 books for a media center so she has 40 books in all and she has 8 boxes in all and since we know that she put the same amount of books in each box all we have to do is divide 40 by 8 so here
40 ÷ 8= 5
so 5 is the final answer she put five books inside of each box for 8 different boxes. in other words each box contains 5 books if there is 8 because 5 times 8 is equal to 40 and there goes your answer.
