Question

Oranges have to be packed in boxes containing
either a dozen or 30 oranges each. What is the
least number of oranges needed so that packing
can be done either way without leaving any
orange?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Oranges have to be packed in boxes , either 12 or 30 ,

Now , lets think that the no.of boxes = y

As he said least no.of oranges ; we can consider the probability in 12 oranges in a box.

total oranges = y x 12 ;

This is the equation for finding total oranges;

[If there is the no.of boxes mentioned in the question; I request you to post the question again with the no.of boxes , if that is not mentioned] Then , THIS IS YOUR  ANSWER

Answer 2

Answer:

60 Oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking,"The least no. of oranges" which means we have to take out the Least Common Multiple or the LCM of 12(a dozen) and 30...

LCM of 12 and 30 is 60.

Therefore, the answer is 60.
