Question

If 48 boxes contain 6000 pens, how many such boxes will be needed for 1875 pens?

Answer 1

48 boxes contain 6000 pens.
Number of pens contained in 1 box = $\frac{6000}{48}=125$pens.

Therefore, number of boxes needed to contain 1875 pens = $\frac{1875}{125}=15$ boxes.

Hence, 15 boxes will be needed for 1875 pens.
