Question

The factory produces 39486400 bolts in a year. 575 bolts are packed in a carton. How many cartons are required to pack the bolts produced in a year. Solution

Answer 1

Given

$\bold{Total \ number \ of \ bolts} = 39486400$

$\bold{Number \ of \ bolts \ in \ each \ carton} = 575$

To find

The number of cartons needed for one year

Let the number of cartons be x

If each carton has 575 bolts.

Since there are 39486400 bolts

$\implies 575x = 39486400$

$\implies x = \dfrac{39486400}{575}$

$\implies x = 68672$

Therefore, 68672 cartons are needed to pack the required number of bolts in a year.
