If 4 mangoes cost M naira what is the cost of 48
mangoes
Assuming that the cost of mangoes is the same for any quantity, we can use proportion to solve the problem.
4 mangoes cost M naira, so 1 mango costs M/4 naira.
To find the cost of 48 mangoes, we can multiply the cost of 1 mango by 48:
Cost of 48 mangoes = (M/4) x 48
Cost of 48 mangoes = 12M naira.
Therefore, the cost of 48 mangoes is 12M naira.
12m
Yes, that's correct. The cost of 48 mangoes would be 12 times the cost of 4 mangoes, so it would be 12M naira.
To find the cost of 48 mangoes, you need to first find the cost of 1 mango and then multiply it by 48.
Given that 4 mangoes cost M naira, you can find the cost of 1 mango by dividing the total cost (M) by the number of mangoes (4):
Cost of 1 mango = M ÷ 4
Once you have the cost of 1 mango, you can find the cost of 48 mangoes by multiplying the cost of 1 mango by 48:
Cost of 48 mangoes = Cost of 1 mango × 48
So, to find the cost of 48 mangoes, you would calculate (M ÷ 4) × 48.
