Question

Meera made 204 candles to sell in the market. She makes packets of 6 candles. How many packets will she make?

Answer 1

Number of candles to be sold in the market = 204
Number of candles in one packet = 6

To find the number of packets of candles Meera made:

$$\begin{array}{c}30+4\\ 6204\\ -\underset{–}{180}2\\ 24\\ -\underset{–}{24}\\ 0\end{array}$$
Hence, Meera will make 30 + 4 = 34 packets of candles.
