Question

If 1/4th of a kilogram of oats is required to make a bowl of porridge, bowls of porridge can be made using 10 kg of oats.

• A. 30
• B. 40
• C. 20

Answer 1

The correct option is B 40

To make a bowl of porridge, $\frac{1}{4}$ kg of oats is needed.

If 10 kg of oats is used, number of porridge bowls made = 10 $÷$ $\frac{1}{4}$
= 10 $\times$ $\frac{4}{1}$
= 40

Hence, 40 bowls of porridge can be made using 10 kg of oats.
