Question

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

• A. 20
• B. 30
• C. 40
• D. 10

Answer 1

The correct option is A 20

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

There are 5 lb of oranges.

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

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

= 20

Hence, total number of oranges is 20.
