Question

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

• A. 42
• B. 40
• C. 41
• D. 45

Answer 1

The correct option is C 41

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.
