Question

A shopkeeper wants to distribute 20.7 kgs of sugar into 9 equal jars. How much sugar would go into each jar?

• A. 2.7 kg
• B. 2.1 kg
• C. 2.3 kg
• D. 3.1 kg

Answer 1

The correct option is C

2.3 kg

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


$\therefore \frac{20.7}{9}\text{kg}=2.3\text{kg}$

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