Question

A basket of orange weighs 22.5 kg. If each family requires 2.5 kg of orange, how many families can share?

Answer 1

Total weight of orange = 22.5 kg

Weight of orange required for 1 family = 2.5 kg

∴ Number of families sharing orange = 22.5 kg ÷ 2.5 kg

= `22.5/2.5`

= `22.5/2.5 xx 10/10`

= `225/25`

= 9

∴ 9 families can share the oranges.
