Answer 1

Answer:

27 cartons

Step-by-step explanation:

9cartons : 1296 bars

x cartons : 3888 bars

Now, cross multiply

i.e. 3888 * 9 / 1296 = 27 cartons

Answer 2

27

we know that 1296 steel bars can be packed in 9 cartons.

1 carton= 1296÷ 9

= 144 steel bars

now to find the number of cartons required to pack 3888 bars, we need to divide 3888 by 144

= 3888÷ 144

= 27
