Question

A shopkeeper records the quantity of wheat purchased over a period of time. Find the total amount of wheat purchased using his records.

Number of wheat bags

Quantity of wheat purchased (in tons)

• A. $\frac{21}{7}$ tons
• B. $\frac{27}{7}$ tons
• C. $\frac{24}{7}$ tons
• D. $\frac{30}{7}$ tons

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{27}{7}$ tons

Total amount of wheat purchased $=\frac{1}{7}+\frac{2}{7}+\frac{2}{7}+\frac{2}{7}+\frac{3}{7}+\frac{4}{7}+\frac{4}{7}+\frac{5}{7}+\frac{6}{7}$

$=\frac{1+2+2+3+4+4+5+6}{7}$

$\frac{27}{7}$ tons
