Question

From a sheet of paper, $ 8 $ pages of a crown size notebook can be made. Anil has $ 75000 $ sheets of paper. How many notebook containing $ 375 $ pages can he make with the paper he has?

Answer 1

Hint: To find solution of this problem we first find number of pages that can be obtained from one sheet and then using it we calculate numbers of pages can be formed from $ 75000 $ sheets and dividing the result by number of pages that one notebook required to get number of notebook will form from given number of sheets.

Complete step-by-step answer:
It is given that from a sheet of a paper number of pages of crown size notebook can be made = $ 8 $
Anil has $ 75000 $ sheets of paper.
Therefore, total number of pages of crown size notebook can be make from given $ 75000 $ sheets of paper can be made or given as:
 $ \Rightarrow 8 \times 75000 $
 $ = 6,00,000 $
Hence, from above we see that numbers of crown size notebook pages that Anil will have from his $ 75000 $ sheets of papers are $ 6,00,000 $
Also, it is given in a statement that each book has $ 375 $ pages.
Therefore, number of books that can be made out from $ 6,00,000 $ pages can be given as:
 $
\Rightarrow \dfrac{{600000}}{{375}} \\
   = 1600 \;
  $
Hence, from above we see that the number of notebooks that can be made are $ 1600 $ .
So, the correct answer is “1600”.

Note: To find a solution to this type of problem we can use a unitary method. In this we first see how many pages are required for one notebook and then we will see how many total pages can be formed from given numbers of sheets and then dividing total number of pages by pages required for one notebook. We can calculate the number of notebooks that will form from given numbers of sheets.
