Answer (1)

To determine how many crates each employee needs to store, we need to divide the total number of crates by the number of employees.
There are 69 wooden crates and 3 employees. We will use division to find the answer:
69 รท 3 = 23
Here's the step-by-step explanation:

Identify the Total Number of Crates:

The problem states that there are a total of 69 crates.


Identify the Number of Employees:

We have 3 employees among whom we need to divide the crates equally.


Perform the Division:

Divide the total number of crates by the number of employees:
69 รท 3 = 23


This calculation shows that each employee will store 23 crates.



Therefore, the correct answer is option D) 23.
