    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

    his sister received 20 shells
