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.
:
C
First, let us do 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 quantity of fruits=(72+83+43) kg
=72+4
=72+82 kg
=152 kg
When 152 kg is divided among 4 people,
each person's share =1524kg
=(152×14)kg
=158 kg
=178 kg
Hence, each person gets (178) kg of fruits.
