Question

How many 250 g weights are required to balance $\frac{3}{4}$ kg of oranges?

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Answer 1

The correct option is C 3

We know that,
1 kg = 1000 g
$\frac{3}{4}$ kg of oranges = three quarter kgs of oranges

1 quarter of a kg = 1 quarter of 1000 g
= 1000 ÷ 4
= 250 g
Three quarters = 3 x 250
= 750 g
Number of 250 g weights required to balance $\frac{3}{4}$ kg of oranges
= $\frac{750}{250}$
= 3
