10. A dealer finds that 48 refined oil cans (of 5 litres each) can be packed in eight
cartons of same size. How many such cartoons will he require to pack 216 cans.
​

Answer 1

• See for 48oilC==8Cartons so for 216oilC==x cross multiply them we get x=8×216/48 hence we get value of x=8×4.5=36
• So 36 cartons will be required to pack 216 cans

Answer 2

48 oil cans ----- 8 cartoons

then, 216 oil cans ----- 8×216/48 =36 cartoons
