How many `1/16` kg boxes of chocolates can be made with `1 1/2` kg chocolates?
Advertisements
Solution
Total chocolates = `1 1/2` kg
= `((1 xx 2) + 1)/2`
= `3/2` kg
∴ Number of boxes of chocolates of `1/16`
= `"Total chocolates"/"Weight of 1 box"`
= `(3/2 ÷ 1/16)`
= `3/2 xx 16` ...`[∵ "Reciprocal of" 1/16 = 16]`
= 3 × 8
= 24
