Question

A cart is loaded with 5 sacks of rice weighing 50 kg each and 10 sacks of wheat weighing 25 kg each. What is the total weight of the items on the cart?

• A. 500 kg
• B. 400 kg
• C. 1000 kg
• D. 800 kg

Answer 1

The correct option is A 500 kg

Weight of one sack of rice = 50 kg
Number of sacks of rice = 5

Weight of 5 sacks of rice = 50 kg × 5 = 250 kg

Weight of one sack of wheat = 25 kg
Number of sacks of wheat = 10

Weight of 10 sacks of wheat = 25 kg × 10 = 250 kg

Therefore, the total weight of the items on the cart is the sum of these weights, which is 250 kg + 250 kg = 500 kg.
