100 x 6
300x6
100 divided by 6
300 divided by 6

Answer 1

Answer:

300 divided by 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

Number of crates of apple owned by fruit seller  = 3 crates

Number of apples in each crate  = 100 apples

He packed 6 apples in 1 box;

Unknown:

Number of boxes needed to pack all the apples = ?

This problem is pretty straight forward;

  Number boxes needed to pack all apples  = $\frac{Number of crates owned by fruit seller x number of apples per crate}{Number of apples per box}$

Input the parameters and solve;

       Number of boxes need to pack all apples  = $\frac{100 x 3}{6}$   = $\frac{300}{6}$

So the solution is 300 divided by 6
