Question

There are 36 packs of oranges with each having 4 oranges. If 6 oranges are needed to make 1L of juice, how much juice can be made from all these oranges?

• A. 20
• B. 24
• C. 27
• D. 22

Answer 1

The correct option is B 24

Number of packs = 36
One pack has 4 oranges.
So total number of oranges = 36 $\times$ 4

36
$\times \underset{–}{4}$
144
Thus, we have a total of 144 oranges.
Since we need 6 oranges for 1 L juice,
Amount of juice that can be made = 144 $÷$ 6

$$\begin{array}{c}24\\ 6144\\ -\underset{–}{12}2\\ 24\\ -\underset{–}{24}\\ 0\end{array}$$Thus, 144 ÷ 6 = 24.

Thus, we can make a total of 24 L of juice.
