How many crayons can be made with 7,700 kilograms of wax if each crayon mold holds 5 grams of wax?

Question

Please try to give me an answer with shown work. And if you can explain what i can do to get the answer multiply,add,divide,or subtract.

Answer 1

1 kilogram = 1000 grams,

1000 / 5 = 200

So for every kilogram of wax, we can make 200 crayons

 

   7700

   *200

1540000

So 1,540,000 crayons can be made.

Answer 2

1 kilogram = 1,000 grams

7,700 kilograms = 7,700,000 grams

 

Divide the amount of way (7,700,000 grams) by the amount of was in each crayon (5 grams)

 

7,700,000 / 5 = 1,540,000
