Let's solve the problem:
We know the total weight of apples and the weight of apples per box. To find the number of boxes, we need to divide the total weight by the weight per box.
- Total weight of apples: 36 kg
- Weight of apples per box: 9 kg
- Number of boxes = Total weight / Weight per box
- Number of boxes = 36 kg / 9 kg/box = 4 boxes
Answer: 4 boxes of apples were delivered to the cafeteria.
Now, let's create and solve two related problems:
- Problem 1 (Finding total weight): If 4 boxes of apples were delivered to the cafeteria, and each box contained 9 kg of apples, what was the total weight of apples delivered?
* Solution: 4 boxes * 9 kg/box = 36 kg. - Problem 2 (Finding weight per box): If 36 kg of apples were delivered to the cafeteria in 4 boxes, how many kilograms of apples were in each box?
* Solution: 36 kg / 4 boxes = 9 kg/box.
