Question

A vending machine requires 6 units of electricity to make 10 ice creams.
How many units of electricity are required to make 100 ice creams?

• A. 10 units
• B. 60 units
  
• C. 100 units
• D. 50 units

Answer 1

The correct option is B 60 units


$\text{Let's calculate the amount of}$ $\text{electricity required for making 100}$ $\text{ice creams.}$

$\text{Electricity required for 10 ice creams}$ $\text{=}\frac{6}{10}\text{units}$

$\text{To calculate the amount of electricity,}$ $\text{let's find the equivalent fraction}$ $\text{of}\frac{6}{10},\text{with denominator 100.}$

$\text{We know 10 times 10 makes 100.}$

$\text{Therefore,}$ $\frac{6\times 10}{10\times 10}=$$\frac{60}{100}$

$\text{Hence, the vending machine needs 60 units}$ $\text{of electricity to make 100 similar}$ $\text{ice creams.}$
