Question

Neena needs 50 g of grapes to make a glass of grape juice. If Neena has 1350 g of grapes, how many glasses of grape juice can she make?

• A. 29
• B. 27
• C. 25
• D. 30

Answer 1

The correct option is B 27

Given: 50 g grapes are needed to make one glass of grape juice.

Number of glasses of grape juice that she can make by using 1350 g grapes = 1350 $÷$ 50 = 135 $÷$ 5
[Dividing 1350 by 50 is the same as dividing 135 by 5, as both are divided by a common factor of 10]

$$\begin{array}{c}27\\ 5135\\ -\underset{–}{10}2\\ 35\\ -\underset{–}{35}\\ 0\end{array}$$Thus, 135 ÷ 5 = 27.

$\therefore$ 27 glasses of grape juice can be made using 1350 g of grapes.
