Question

The weight of four cookies is 300 grams and the weight of six pastries is 420 grams. Which one is heavier, a cookie or a pastry?

• A. Cookie
• B. Pastry

Answer 1

The correct option is A Cookie

Given,
Weight of $4$ cookies $=300$ grams
$\Rightarrow$ weight of $1$ cookie $=\frac{300}{4}=75$ grams.
Also,
Weight of $6$ pastries $=420$ grams.

$\Rightarrow$ weight of $1$ pastry $=\frac{420}{6}=70$ grams.

On comparing weights of one cookie and pastry
$\Rightarrow$ $75$ grams $>70$ grams.

Weight of a cookie is greater than weight of a pastry. So, cookie is heavier than pastry.
