Question

On her birthday, Meena ate 5 pieces of cake, each piece weighing 5000 centigrams. Find the total weight of cake she ate.

• A. 2500 centigrams
• B. 250 decigram
• C. 250 gram
• D. 2500 gram

Answer 1

The correct option is C 250 gram

We know that, 100 centigram = 1 grams
so, 1000 centigrams = 10 grams
and 5000 centigrams = 5 x 10 = 50 grams
She ate 5 such cake pieces.
$\therefore$ The total weight of the cake she ate
= (5000 x 5) centigrams = 25000 centigrams = 250 grams [$\because$ 100 centigrams = 1 grams]
