Question

A carton contains 10 boxes each box containing one dozen cubes .How many carton are needed to fill 960 cube

Answer 1

It's nothing to worry about.

let's see what is given to us.

$no \: of \: boxes \: in \: 1 \: carton \: = \: 10 \\ no \: of \: cubes \: in \: 1 \: box = 12 \\ so \\ no \: of \: cubes \: in \: 1 \: carton = 10 \times 12 = 120 \: cubes$

and we are asked the no of CARTONS for 960 cubes
o. k

simple division, right?

$no \: o f \: cartons \: required = \frac{total \: no \: of \: cubes}{no \: of \: cubes \: in \: one \: carton } \\ = \frac{960}{120} = 8$
so, we require 8 cartons to fill in 960 cubes

Answer 2

The carton needed to fill 960 cubes are 8.

Given:

One carton contains total number of 10 boxes.

One box contains total number of 12 cubes.

Explanation:

Total number of cubes contained in 1 carton $10 \times 12=120$ cubes

To solve for number of cartons for 960 cubes, use the given formula,

No of cartons required = total no of cubes / no of cubes in one carton

$=\frac{960}{120}$

$=8$

Thus, 8 cartons are needed to fill total of 960 cubes.
