Question

If 48 boxes contain 6000 pens, how many such boxes will be needed for 1875 pens?

Answer 1

Number of boxes containing 6000 pens = 48

Number of boxes containing 1 pen = `48/6000`

Number of boxes containing 1875 pens = 1875 × `48/6000 = 90000/6000` = 15

15 boxes are needed for 1875 pens.
