Hira decides to pack 165 mangoes in boxes that can bold 18 each. She decided to carry only fully filled mango boxes and give away the rest. Find how many mangoes Hira will give away.

Options

A. 7
B. 13
C. 9
D. 3

Answer

To solve the problem step by step, we will follow these calculations:

1. **Identify the total number of mangoes**: Hira has a total of 165 mangoes.

2. **Identify the capacity of each box**: Each box can hold 18 mangoes.

3. **Calculate how many full boxes can be filled**: To find out how many full boxes can be filled, we will divide the total number of mangoes by the capacity of each box.
\[ \text{Number of full boxes} = \frac{165}{18} \]

4. **Perform the division**:
- When we divide 165 by 18, we can calculate it as follows:
- 18 goes into 165 approximately 9 times (since \( 18 \times 9 = 162 \)).
- This means Hira can fill 9 boxes completely.

5. **Calculate the total number of mangoes in full boxes**:
\[ \text{Mangoes in full boxes} = 9 \times 18 = 162 \]

6. **Calculate the number of mangoes left over**:
- To find out how many mangoes are left after filling the boxes, we subtract the number of mangoes in full boxes from the total number of mangoes.
\[ \text{Mangoes left} = 165 - 162 = 3 \]

7. **Conclusion**: Hira will give away the remaining mangoes, which is 3.

Thus, the final answer is that Hira will give away **3 mangoes**.
