Question

If 48 boxes contain 6000 pens how many such boxes will be needed for 1875 pens??​

Answer 1

Answer:

15 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 48 boxes contains 6000 pens. We need to find out that how many such boxes will be needed for 1875 pens.

Let's say the number of boxex be x.

Now,

Number of boxes that contains 6000 pens = 48 boxes

Number of boxes that contain 1 pen = 48/6000

As per given question we need to find the number of boxes that contains 1875 pens.

Since, 48 boxes contains 6000 pens and number of boxes that contain 1 pen is 48/6000.

Therefore,

Number of boxes that needed for 1875 pens = 48/6000 × 1875

= 48(0.3125)

= 15

Hence, 15 boxes are needed for 1875 pens.

Answer 2

$X = \frac{48 \times 1875}{6000}$

$X = \frac{90.000}{6000}$

$X = 15$
