Question

There are 12 laddoos in 1 kg. How many laddoos will be there in 50 kg? If 5 laddoos can be packed in 1 box, how many boxes are needed to pack all these laddoos?

Answer 1

Number of laddoos in 1 kg = 12
Then, the number of laddoos in 50 kg = $12\times 50$ = 600

Hence, there will be 600 laddoos in 50 kg,
Number of laddoos that can be packed in one box = 5
So, the number of boxes required to pack 336 laddoos
= $600÷5$

$$\begin{array}{c}120\\ 5600\\ -\underset{–}{5}2\\ 10\\ -\underset{–}{10}\\ 00\\ -\underset{–}{00}\\ 0\end{array}$$Thus, 600 ÷ 5 = 120.
Hence, 120 boxes are needed to pack all the laddoos.
