Question

A box of crisps contains 48 packets. How many packets will there be in 263 boxes

Answer 1

12624 packets

Explanation:

To solve this let the unknown number of packets be x.

1 box ⇒ 48 packets

263 boxes ⇒ x

Now let us use cross multiplication to find the value of x.

1 × x = 48 × 263

1x = 12624

Divide both sides by 1.

x = 12624
