Question

how many 1/16 kg boxes of chocolate can be made with 1×1/2 kg chocolate?

Answer 1

Answer:

8 boxes of $\frac{1}{16} \mathrm{kg}$ will be made from $\mathbf{1} \times \frac{1}{2}$ of chocolate.

Explanation:

As there is $\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{kg}$ of chocolate, we have to divide equally by $\frac{1}{16}$ to get the number of boxes which will be coming as 8 boxes.  

The $\frac{1}{16} \mathrm{kg}$ is less than $\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{kg}$ so in 8 boxes $\frac{1}{16} \mathrm{kg}$ of chocolates can be given so that the total weight of chocolates of all the 8 boxes leads to $\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{kg}$ of chocolates.
