Question

Lily owns a mango farm. She supervises the packing of 156 mangoes in boxes such that each box contains 12 mangoes.
How many such boxes are needed to pack all the mangoes?

• A. 10 boxes
• B. 14 boxes
• C. 12 boxes
• D. 13 boxes

Answer 1

The correct option is D 13 boxes

Each box contains 12 mangoes.
Total number of mangoes = 156
156 mangoes have to be divided in boxes such that each box contains 12 mangoes.
Number of boxes
$=156÷12$

Using long division, we get:

Number of boxes = 13
