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

Answer 1

Compute the required values:

(a) Given that Gangu made a tray of $80$ laddoos and has a small box in which he packs $4$ laddoos.

Number of laddoos that can be packed in $23$ small boxes $=23\times 4=92$

But Gangu made only $80$ laddoos.

Therefore, the sweets in the tray are not enough to pack $23$ small boxes.

(b) Number of sweets needed $92-80=12$

(c) Number of laddoos that can be packed in bigger box $=12$

Therefore, number of boxes needed to pack $60$ laddoos $=\frac{60}{12}=5$

Therefore $5$ bigger boxes needed to pack $60$ laddoos.

Hence,

(a) The sweets in the tray are not enough to pack $23$ small boxes.

(b) $12$ more sweets needed to be packed in $23$ small boxes.

(c) $5$ bigger boxes needed to pack $60$ laddoos.
