Answer
Each student would need to collect $\approx 5$ box tops per week.
Work Step by Step
We saw in Exercise #60 that each student needs to collect 182 box tops. To find out how many box tops each student would need to collect per week during 38 weeks, we divide:
$~~~~~~~~~~4.7$
$38\overline{)182.0}$
$~~~~~~\underline{152}$
$~~~~~~~~~300$
$~~~~~~~~~\underline{266}$
$~~~~~~~~~~~34$
We can stop the division with the remainder of 34 because we only need to round to the nearest whole number:
$4.7\approx 5$
Therefore, each student would need to collect $\approx 5$ box tops per week.
