Question

How many 250 g weights can make one and a half kg?

• A. 4
• B. 6
• C. 8
• D. 5

Answer 1

The correct option is B 6

One kg = 1000 g
Half kg = 500 g

One and half kg = 1000 g + 500 g = 1500 g

Number of 250 g that make one and half kg = 1500 g ÷ 250 g

Let us apply repeated subtraction.
1500 - 250 = 1250
1250 - 250 = 1000
1000 - 250 = 750
750 - 250 = 500
500 - 250 = 250
250 - 250 = 0

Thus, 1500 g ÷ 250 g = 6
