Question 44

A box of light bulbs contains 24 bulbs. A worker replaces 17 bulbs in the shipping department and 13 bulbs in the accounting department. How many boxes of bulbs did the worker use?

Solution

Total units of bulbs used by the worker = 17+13 = 30

Number of bulbs in each box = 24

$$\therefore\ $$Number of boxes used by the worker = $$\frac{30}{24}$$ = $$\frac{5}{4}$$ = $$1\frac{1}{4}$$

Hence, the correct answer is Option B
