Question

A fruit seller has 3 crates of apples. Each crate has 100 apples. If he packed 6 apples in 1 box. Which of these gives the number of such boxes needed to pack all the apples.

100 x 6
300x6
100 divided by 6
300 divided by 6

Answer 1

300 divided by 6

Explanation:

Given that;

Number of crates of apple owned by fruit seller = 3 crates

Number of apples in each crate = 100 apples

He packed 6 apples in 1 box;

Unknown:

Number of boxes needed to pack all the apples = ?

This problem is pretty straight forward;

Number boxes needed to pack all apples =
`(Number of crates owned by fruit seller x number of apples per crate)/(Number of apples per box)`

Input the parameters and solve;

Number of boxes need to pack all apples =
`(100 x 3)/(6)` =
`(300)/(6)`

So the solution is 300 divided by 6
