Question

Zakele must repack tins that come in large boxes into smaller boxes. A large box contains 48 tins and a small box can hold 15 tins. Zakele must must repack 125 large boxes. How many small boxes will he need?

Answer 1

Zakele will need 400 small boxes to repack the tins.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of small boxes Zakele will need, we need to divide the total number of tins in large boxes by the capacity of each small box. Zakele has 125 large boxes, and each large box contains 48 tins. Therefore, the total number of tins is 125 x 48 = 6000 tins.

Since a small box can hold 15 tins, we divide the total number of tins by the capacity of each small box: 6000 tins ÷ 15 tins = 400 small boxes.

Therefore, Zakele will need 400 small boxes to repack the tins.

125 boxes would contain : 125 x 48 = 6000 tins

the number of small boxes needed to contain 6000 tins = 6000 / 15 = 400 small boxes
