Question

3kg of butter is packed into small packets of 75gm each to be supplied to a restaurant. How many such packets can be made? If 10 such small packets are put into a box, how many such boxes can be made?

Answer 1

4 boxes can be made

Explanation:

→ First work out the amount of small packets there are

3 kg = 3000g

3000 ÷ 75 = 40

→ Now we know that there are 40 small packets and one box can hold 10 packets so,

1 box = 10 packets

? boxes = 40 packets

40 ÷ 10 = 4

→ 4 boxes can be made

Answer 2

4

Explanation:

Converting 3kg to grams,

3 kg * = 3000 g

If we divide 3000 g by 75, we will determine how many packets of butter there are.

3000 / 75 = 40.

40 packets of butter. If 10 go into a box, that means that

40 / 10 = 4 boxes.

Hence 4 such boxes can be made
