Question

Gangu's Sweets
Gangu is making sweets for Id. He has made a tray of 80 laddoos.



• Are the sweets in the tray enough to pack 23 small boxes? ___________
• How many more sweets are needed? ___________
• Gangu also has a bigger box in which he packs 12 laddoos.
How many boxes does he need for packing 60 laddoos?

Answer 1

• Total number of laddoos = 80

Number of laddoos in one box = 4
Now Rabiya needs 23 small boxes of laddoos.
Number of laddoos in 23 boxes = 4 × 23
= 92
There are only 80 sweets in the tray, which are not enough to pack 23 small boxes.

• Number of sweets now required = 92 − 80
= 12
Thus, 12 more sweets are needed to pack 23 small boxes.

• Number of laddoos Gangu packs in one box = 12
Total laddoos to be packed = 60
Number of boxes required = 60 $÷$ 12
= 5
Thus, Gangu needs 5 boxes to pack 60 laddoos.
