First, you would need to create an equation to represent this problem. Since you are dividing 296 seeds among containers that hold 9 seeds each, you would divide the total number of seeds by the per container amount.
296 ÷ 9
Now, all you would need to do is solve it.
296 ÷ 9 = 32.8888888889 ≈ 33
You would need 33 whole containers to hold 296 seeds.
I hope this helps!
