Question

Jithu is curating Christmas hampers for his neighbours.

A minimum of 6 cupcakes are to be included in a hamper box.

If he wants to pack 665 cupcakes evenly into hamper boxes, what could be the smallest number of cupcakes that can be included in one hamper box?

Answer 1

1 hamper box, curated by Jithu can be contained 5 cupcakes.

Calculation:

The total amount of cupcakes =665 nos.

Jithu wants to create a gift box, each of which contains 6 cupcakes.

We have to see first, whether 665 could be equally distributed or not.

Hence, 665/6= 110.84 unit

It is seen that the number is in a fraction.so, It can be said that 665 cakes cannot be equally distributed to each gift pack carrying 6 cakes.

Hence, 110*6=660 cupcakes.

∴665-660= 5 cupcakes in one box

So, it is concluded that Jithu could be prepared 110 gift boxes containing 6 cakes each & 1 box containing 5 cupcakes.
