Shaundell was an inventory clerk. He was expected to pack one-third of all the boxes going out on Tuesday. If he packed 62 boxes, how many boxes went out on Tuesday?

Answer: 186

Step-by-step explanation:

let total boxes = t

If he packed a third of the total boxes and that number was equal to 62, that can be represented by 1/3t = 62.

Now we can multiply both sides by 3 to cancel the 1/3, getting us 62*3=186
