To Find:
How many cartons would he get/need?
Solution:
We can solve this using two operations, Multiplication, and division.
We need to multiply the number of cartons he has with the number of fruits he has in each cartons.
Total no of apples the fruit seller has = 21 cartons × 72 Apples Each
=1512 apples
He can re-pack 1512 apples in smaller cartons of 27 apples each.
we have to divide the total number of apples by the number of apples to pack in each small carton.
The number of cartons he would require is = 1512 ÷ 27
=56 cartons.
Hence, the fruit seller would require 56 cartons.
