Question
If 48 boxes contain 6000 pens, how many such boxes will be needed for 1875 pens?
✓
Answer
48 boxes contain 6000 pens.
Number of pens contained in 1 box $=\frac{6000}{48}=125\ \text{pens}.$
Therefore, number of boxes needed to contain 1875 pens $=\frac{1875}{125}=15\ \text{boxes}.$
Hence, 15 boxes will be needed for 1875 pens.
