Question

Hansa and Greta have $3\frac{1}{2}$ kg of strawberries. They want to put the fruits equally into 7 containers. Find how much fruits should they have to put in each containers.

• A. $\frac{1}{2}$ kg
• B. $\frac{1}{3}$ kg
• C. $\frac{1}{4}$ kg
• D. 2 kg

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{1}{2}$ kg

Total quantity of strawberries = $3\frac{1}{2}$ kg

Total number of containers = 7

To find how much fruits should be put into each container, we have to divide total quantity by number of containers.

$3\frac{1}{2}÷7$

= $\frac{7}{2}$ $÷$ 7

= $\frac{7}{2}$ $\times$$\frac{1}{7}$

= $\frac{1}{2}$

Hence, each container should have $\frac{1}{2}$ kg of fruits.
