Question

How many match boxes can be packed in a packet of 48cm
x 5cm if the dimensions of the match box is 5x4?

Answer 1

Answer:

12 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

dimension of packet= 48 x 5

area of packet = 240cm sq.

dimension of match box = 5 x 4

area of match box = 20 cm sq

so, to find the number of match boxes that can fit in the packet, we divide the area of packet by the area of match box.

therefore, 240/20 = 12

12 boxes can be fit.
