A baseball bat factory produces 24,000 bats per day and uses 50 boxes for packing the bats. If the number of boxes needed for packing is proportional to the number of bats produced, how many boxes would be needed on a day when 36,000 bats are produced?

Answer:

Total boxes= 75

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A baseball bat factory produces 24,000 bats per day and uses 50 boxes for packing the bats.

First, we need to determine the number of bats that fits into a box:

Bats per box= 24,000 / 50

Barts per box= 480

Now, the number of boxes for 36,000 bats:

Total boxes= total bats / bats per box

Total boxes= 36,000/480

Total boxes= 75
