Can you find out in how many cartons can she place sixty-six boxes in total ?

Answer 1

The total number of cartons required = 9.

5 cartons for large boxes = 5 * 6 = 30
4 cartons for small boxes = 4 * 9 = 36

30 + 36 = 66.

Answer 2

In 8 cartons she can place 66 boxes.

2 cartons for large boxes = 2 * 6 = 12
6 cartons for small boxes = 6 * 9 = 54

12 + 54 = 66**
