Question

Madhu made 246 candles to sell in the market and filled 6 candles in each packet. How many packets did she make?

Answer 1

Total number of candles = 246
1 packet = 6 candles

Total number of packets $=246÷6$
By, using long division method, we get

$$\begin{array}{c}41\\ 6246\\ \underset{–}{24}2\\ 6\\ \underset{–}{6}\\ 0\end{array}$$Hence, the total number of packets made are 41.
