Question

If 50 strawberries weigh 2 kg 800 gm, 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. 72
• D. 73

Answer 1

The correct option is A

71

2 kg 800 gm = 2.8 kg

Number of strawberries contained in 2.8 kg carton = 50 strawberries

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

4 kg box = $\frac{50\times 4}{2.8}$ strawberries = 71.4 or 71 (approx)
