Question

it takes him 124 minutes to fit 4 boxes in a lorry if he works for 93 minutes how many boxes can he fit

Answer 1

`\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{3 \: boxes}}}}}`

Explanation:

`\sf{ time \: ( \: in \: minutes}) \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: no.of \: boxes`

`\sf{124 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 4}`

`\sf{93 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: x( \: suppose)}`

In case of Direct proportion

`\sf{ (124)/(93) = (4)/(x) }`

Do cross multiplication

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{124x = 93 * 4}}`

Multiply the numbers: 93 and 4

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{124x = 372}}`

Divide both sides by 124

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{(124x)/(124) = (372)/(124)}}`

Calculate

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{x = 3}}`

Thus, It takes him 93 minutes to fit 3 boxes in a lorry.
