How many sets of dominoes can be found in a can of 237 dominoes?

Amanda found a can containing 237 dominoes. A full set has 28 dominoes. What is the greatest number of complete sets that can be found in a can?


Explain how you found your answer.|||237 / 28 = 8.46 (rounded) = 8


This means that there would be only 8 sets of 28 dominoes. Just divide the total amount of dominoes with the amount per set. You will get a big number, round it to the ones, because the decimal places after that is not part of the full set.
