A pantry has 56 cans of vegetables and 74 cans of soup. each shelf in the pantry can hold 9 cans. will all the cans of soup fit evenly on the shelves? how many shelves will be needed? is there a remainder?

130 cans in total

The cans of soup can't fit evenly on the shelves. 74:9 = 8.2

You would need 9 shelves.

For the cans of vegetables you would need 7 shelves because 56: 9 = 6.2

But all together if you divide 130 by 9 you would get 14.4

Then you would only need 15 shelves.
