Question

There are 3 kg bananas in the basket. Sham and Robin ate half and three quarters of a kg of the bananas respectively. How much banana is left out of the total?

• A. 1250 g
• B. 1500 g
• C. 1750 g
• D. 2 kg

Answer 1

The correct option is C 1750 g

Total weight of bananas = 3 kg
Sham ate $\frac{1}{2}$ kg
Robin ate $\frac{3}{4}$ kg
We know that one quarter of a kg is 250 g, half of a kg is 500 g and three quarters of a kg is 750 g.
So Sham ate $\frac{1}{2}$ kg = 500 g
Robin ate $\frac{3}{4}$ kg = 750 g
Total bananas = 500 g + 750 g
= 1250 g
We know that 1 kg = 1000 g
So 3 kg = 3000 g
Weight of remaining bananas =
3000 g - 1250 g = 1750 g
