Question

Three friend Neena, Asha and Mehak divided a packet of rice weighing $87$ $\frac{1}{2}$ kg equally. How many kgs of rice did each get?

• A. $29\frac{1}{6}$ kg
• B. $33\frac{1}{6}$ kg
• C. $\frac{173}{6}$ kg
• D. $\frac{177}{6}$ kg

Answer 1

The correct option is A $29\frac{1}{6}$ kg

Weight of the packet of rice $=87\frac{1}{2}=\frac{175}{2}$kg

As the packet is divided equally amongst all three friends $=\frac{87\frac{1}{2}}{3}=\frac{175}{6}$kg

$\therefore$ Amount of rice each Neena, Asha and Mehak get is $29\frac{1}{6}$kg
