Question

Which costs more - ${\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}}$ kg of onions or ${\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}}$ kg of carrots?

Answer 1

Cost of 1 kg onions = Rs 10

Cost of 1 kg carrots = Rs 16

∴ Cost of ${\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}}$ kg onions = Rs 10 ÷ 2 = Rs 5

And, Cost of ${\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}}$ kg carrots = Rs 16 ÷ 4 = Rs 4

The cost of ${\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}}$ kg onions is more than the cost of ${\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}}$ kg carrots.
