Question

The Claude crayon company can make 2400 crayons in 4 minutes which is filled in a box at the same time . If each crayon box has 12 crayons, how many crayon boxes can they make in 15 minutes?

• A. 750
• B. 800
• C. 900
• D. 1000

Answer 1

The correct option is A

750

Number of crayons that can be filled in 4 minutes = 2400

Hence number of crayons that can be filled in 1 minute = $\frac{2400}{4}$

= 600

Hence number of crayons can be filled in 15 minutes = $600\times 15$

= 9000

Each box has 12 crayons,

$\therefore$ Number of boxes required for 9000 crayons = $\frac{9000}{12}$ = 750

$\therefore$ crayons for 750 boxes can be made in 15 minutes
