Question

The total weight of a box of 5 detergent packets of same size is 8 kg 400 grams. What is the weight of each packet in kg?

• A. 1.78 kg
• B. 17.8 kg
• C. 1.68 kg
• D. 16.8 kg

Answer 1

The correct option is C 1.68 kg

Given
Total weight of 5 detergent packets
= 8kg 400 gram
= 8400 grams ($\because$ 1 kg = 1000 grams)
Weight of one detergent packet
= $\frac{\text{Total weight}}{\text{No. of packets}}$
= $\frac{8400}{5}$
= 1680 grams
Weight in killograms = $\frac{1680}{1000}$
= 1.68 kg
