A shopkeeper has 50 boxes, there are 48 fruits in one box, how many fruits are there in all?
A shopkeeper has 50 boxes, there are 48 fruits in one box, how many fruits are there in all?

We are given that the shopkeeper has 50 boxes and that there are 48 fruits in one box.

Using simple language, we can assume there are 48 fruit in each box. This is standard formulation for teaching the application of multiplication. We get the answer of 2400.

However, thinking logically, just because there are 48 fruit in one box it doesn't have to be the same with other boxes. They can have any number of fruit in each. This gives us the logical answer — There are at least 48 fruits in all.

We can be more pedantic and try to discern the meaning of the word 'all’ in the question. But where it ‘all of the boxes' or ‘all of the world', the answer would remain unchanged — at least 48 fruits.

So if you've gotten the question from a grade school math book, your answer would be 2400.

Hope this will help you..
