Question

A shopkeeper wants to distribute 20.7 kgs of sugar into 9 equal jars. Enter the amount of sugar that would go into each jar in kgs?

• A. 2.3

Answer 1

The correct option is A 2.3

To find the amount of sugar that goes into each jar, we need to divide 20.7 kg by 9.

$$\begin{array}{c}2.3\\ 920.7\\ -\underset{–}{18}2\\ 2.7\\ -\underset{–}{2.7}\\ \underset{–}{0}\end{array}$$
$\therefore \frac{20.7}{9}\text{kg}=2.3\text{kg}$

$\therefore$ Each jar will have 2.3 kg of sugar.
