Question

Each orange weighs $\frac{1}{4}$ of a kilogram. If there are 5 kg of oranges in a basket, find the number of oranges in the basket.

• A. 10
• B. 20
• C. 30
• D. 40

Answer 1

The correct option is B 20

Weight of an orange = $\frac{1}{4}$ kg

There are 5 kg of oranges.

Number of oranges = 5 $÷$ $\frac{1}{4}$

= 5 $\times$ $\frac{4}{1}$

= 20

Hence, the total number of oranges is 20.
