Question
Which costs more - `1/2` kg of onions or `1/4` kg of carrots?
Solution
Cost of 1 kg onions = Rs 10
Cost of 1 kg carrots = Rs 16
∴ Cost of `1/2` kg onions = Rs 10 ÷ 2 = Rs 5
And, Cost of `1/4` kg carrots = Rs 16 ÷ 4 = Rs 4
The cost of `1/2` kg onions is more than the cost of `1/4` kg carrots.
