Respuesta :

I believe each coworker got 3 boxes.

If you divide 14 by 4, you get 3.5. But, since the question is how many WHOLE boxes, they would have gotten 3 whole boxes.

calculista
we know that
Ian has [tex]14[/tex] boxes of paper
and
divides them evenly between [tex]4[/tex] coworkers

so
divide [tex]14[/tex] boxes of paper by [tex]4[/tex] coworkers
[tex] \frac{14}{4} =3.5 \\ =3 \frac{1}{2} [/tex] boxes

[tex]3.5=(3+0.5) [/tex]

the whole number is equal to [tex]3[/tex]

hence

the answer is
[tex]3[/tex] boxes
