Question
Determine the number of 30-gram flowerpots that can be filled using 6kg bag of soil.
- 200
- 230
- 25
- 300
Hint:
We are given the capacity of a flower-pot. It is 30 grams. We are asked the number of flower-pots that can be filled with the soil of 6kg. For this question, we have to convert the value of the units. Once we do that, we can find the expression between the give quantities and find the required value.
The correct answer is: 200
The capacity of flower pot is 30 grams.
The available soil is 6kg.
First, we will convert 6kg into grams. To convert the given unit, we must know the relation between kg and grams.
1 kg = 1000 grams
So, to convert 6 kg into grams, we will multiply 6kg by 1000.
6 kg = 6 × 1000 grams
= 6000 grams
So the available soil is 6000 grams.
The number of flower pots can be found it if we divide the available soil by the capacity of a flower-pot. 30 grams soil will be required each time.
Number of flower pots = Available soil ÷ Capacity of single flower-pot.
= 6000 ÷ 30
= 200 pots
Therefore, the number of pots that can be filled using the available soil is 200.
For such questions, we should know about the conversion of different units.
