You're missing some information, or it's jumbled. What is the total number of dishes?
Let me show you how, and you can plug in the number (it shows as "d").
.
If they have a total of 60 dishes, and they used 5 boxes, simply divide.
60 dishes into 5 boxes = 60 / 5 = 12
.
If they do have 60 boxes, but they only used 5, the 60 is irrelevant. In that case, take the total number of dishes and divide by 5. They're only using 5.
75 dishes into 5 boxes = 75 /5 = 15
.
Repost if the information is different.
