To find out how many 178 kg books can fit in a box that can hold 2818 kg, you will need to divide the total weight the box can hold by the weight of one book.
So, the calculation would be:
\[ \text{Number of books} = \frac{2818 \text{ kg}}{178 \text{ kg/book}} \approx 15.82 \]
Since you can't have a fraction of a book, you'd round down to 15.
