    Step-by-step explanation:

    A box can hold a maximum of 8 cans

    You have a total of 50 cans

    The problem here is to determine the minimum number of boxes that can hold the 50 cans

    Let the minimum number of boxes = y

    The minimum required will be such that:

    The Product of The number of cans X Number of Required boxes ≥50

    8y≥50

    y≥50/8

    y≥6.25

    Since a box have a fractional value, the minimum number of boxes required to store 50 cans will be the nearest whole number which in this case is 7.
