Answer 2

Answer:

(i) Machine will pack 24 boxes in 4 minutes.

(ii) Machine will take 10 hour to pack 3600 boxes.

Given:

A packing machine can pack 144 boxes of toothpaste in 24 minutes.

To find:

(i) How many boxes of toothpaste will be packed in 4 minutes?

(ii) What time will the machine take to pack 3600 boxes?

Solution:

First we have to find how many boxes does machine pack in 1 minute.

Since, 24 minutes is taken to pack 144 boxes.

Therefore, 1 minute is taken to pack ? boxes.

=> ? = 144/24

=> 6.

So, Machine packs 6 boxes in 1 minute.

Now, In 4 minutes the number of packed boxes will be 4×6 = 24 boxes.

And, In 1 minute number of packed boxes by machine is 6.

Therefore, In ? minute the number of packed boxes by machine is 3600.

=> ? = 3600/6 = 600minute.

We know that, 60minute = 1 hour.

Therefore, 600minute = 600/60 = 10 hour.
