Question

If 18 cartons of apple juice weigh $49\frac{1}{2}$ kg, then the weight of 1 carton of apple juice is ______ kg.

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

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$2\frac{3}{4}$

Weight of 1 carton of apple juice is,

$=49\frac{1}{2}÷18$

$=\frac{99}{2}÷\frac{18}{1}$

$=\frac{99}{2}\times \frac{1}{18}=\frac{11}{4}=2\frac{3}{4}$ kg
