Question
A person bought 312 kg of apples, 223 kg of grapes and 113 kg of oranges. He wants to divide them among 4 people. Find the amount of fruits(in kg) that each person will receive.
Answer: Option C
:
C
First, let usdo the conversion of mixed fractions into improper fractions.
i.e 312=(2×3)+12=72
223=(3×2)+23=83, and
113=(3×1)+13=43
Total quantityof fruits=(72+83+43)kg
=72+4
=72+82 kg
=152 kg
When 152kg is divided among 4people,
each person's share =1524kg
=(152×14)kg
=158kg
=178kg
Hence, each person gets(178)kg of fruits.
