Question

A chocolate box weighed $\frac{5}{10}$ kg. A customer decides to buy 5 such boxes. What is the total weight of the order placed by the customer?

• A. $\frac{25}{50}$
• B. $\frac{25}{10}$
• C. $\frac{5}{50}$
• D. $\frac{10}{10}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{25}{10}$

Here, we need to find the total weight of the chocolate boxes.
● Weight of 1 chocolate box $=\frac{5}{10}$ kg
● Number of boxes ordered by the customer $=5$
● Weight of 5 chocolate boxes
= Weight of 1 chocolate box $\times$ Number of boxes ordered by the customer
$=\frac{5}{10}\times 5$
$=\frac{5\times 5}{10}$
$=\frac{25}{10}$ kg

Hence, A is the correct option.
