In the question it is given that

Shopkeeper has 40 packets and he can place 5 packets in a box.

Number of packets = 40

Number of packets in one box= 5

3. We will find the quantity which is required

In the question it is asked that

How many boxes are required to keep the packets?

To find number of packets

We will perform division as we are supposed to find the no. of boxes
