Answer:
his sister received 20 shells
Step-by-step explanation:
To begin with, he says that he divided the shells into equal parts, so we have to divide the total shells by 24 to know how many shells he put in each part
1652/24 = 68.83333
this means that each container has 68 shells
to know how many shells he put in containers we have to multiply the 24 containers by the 68 shells each one has
24*68 = 1632
Now to know the shells left over, we only have to subtract the shells in containers (1632) from the total shells (1652)
1652 - 1632 = 20
