Question

If 50 strawberries can be packed in a 2 kg 800 g carton, then how many strawberries can be packed in a 4 kg carton?

Round off your answer to the nearest integer.

• A. 71
• B. 70
• C. 75
• D. 73

Answer 1

The correct option is A

71

2 kg 800 g = 2.8 kg

Given,
Number of strawberries contained in 2.8 kg carton = 50 strawberries

$\therefore$ Number of strawberries contained in 1 kg carton = $\frac{50}{2.8}$ strawberries

$\therefore$ Number of strawberries in a 4 kg carton = $\frac{50}{2.8}$ $\times$ 4
= 71.4 or 71 (approx.) strawberries
