Question

There are 28 laddoos in 1 kg. How many ladoos will be there in 12 kg? If 16 laddoos can be packed in 1 box, how many boxes are needed to pack all these laddoos?

Answer 1

Hint: To find the number of laddoos in 12 kg we will multiply the number of kg by the number of ladoos in 1 kg. Then to find the number of boxes required for packing all ladoos we will divide the number of total ladoos by the number of ladoos packed in one box and get the desired answer.

Complete step by step answer:
We have been given the following information:
$1kg=28$ Ladoos
$1$ Box $=16$Ladoos
We have to find number of laddoos in 12 kg so will proceed as follows:
As 1 kg have 28 ladoos so,
$12kg=12\times 28$ Ladoos
$12kg=336$ Ladoos
There are 336 ladoos in 12 kg.
Next it is given to us that 16 ladoos are packed in 1 box so,$16$
16 ladoos are in 1 box
 1 ladoo is packed in $=\dfrac{1}{16}$ box
336 ladoos are packed in $=\dfrac{1}{16}\times 336$ boxes
336 ladoos are packed in $=21$ boxes
Hence 12 kg will have 336 ladoos and 21 boxes are needed to pack them all.

Note: In these types of question we should always find the value of one piece whether it is to find the number of ladoos per kg or number of box required for one ladoos by doing this we can simply multiply the amount we want to calculate by it and get our answer without too much complication. Always write the value given for one and many of each item below each other so that it can be clear while solving the problem.
