Solution

Number of cartons needed to pack 1152 soap bars = 8
Number of cartons needed to pack 1 soap bar = $\frac{8}{1152}$ [less number of soaps, less number of cartons needed]
Now, number of cartons needed to pack 3888 soap bars = $\frac{8}{1152} \times 3888$ = 27 [more soaps, more carton needed]

∴ 27 cartons are needed to pack 3888 soap bars.
