Divide 343, the number of quilts, by 7, the number of compartments. The answer is 49 quilts in each compartment.

As many point out above, the "Up Carrot, ^" is an exponent. Examples 2^ 2 = 2 x2 = 4 2^3 = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 3^ 2 = 3 x 3 = 9 3 ^ 3 = 3 x 3 x 3 = 27 4 ^ 2 = 4 x 4 = sixteen 2 ^ 4 = 2 x 2 x 2 x2 = sixteen 2 ^ 5 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 32

This one is pretty simple -- you have 343 of something divided equally into 7 containers...so each one contains 1/7th of the total. Just divide 343 by seven to get your answer.
