Question

The weight of a pineapple and an apple is in the ratio 17:2. If the pineapple weighs 1700 g, the apple's weight would be

• A. 100 g
• B. 200 g
• C. 170 g
• D. 190 g

Answer 1

The correct option is B 200 g

$\text{Converting the ratio into a fraction,}\text{we get:}$
$17:2=\frac{17}{2}$

$\frac{17}{2}=\frac{17\times 100}{2\times 100}=\frac{1700}{200}$


$\therefore \text{The weight of an apple is 200 g}$
