18 packets are required to pack 684 pens.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

• In the question it is said that 1 packet can hold 38 pens.

To Find

• How many packets are required to pack 684 pens.

Solution

Let us assume the value of no of packet to pack 684 pens be x

1 packet can hold 38 pens

x packets can hold 684 pens

1 packet = 38pen

x packet = 684 pen

1 = 38

x= 684

Now, Do the cross multiplication

• 1 × 684 = 38 × x

• 684 = 38x

• x = 684/38

• x = 18

So, we got x as 18

So,

• ∴ Number of packets needed to pack 684 pens = 18 packets
