The bar graph shows the number of packets of different food collected in a donation drive.
- 14 of the total number of packets of food collected was lentils. How many packets of milo were collected?
- The table shows the mass of each packet of food.
| Food Items |
Mass of each packet |
| Flour |
10 kg |
| Lentils |
445 g |
| Dried Fruits |
370 g |
| Milo |
400 g |
What is the difference between the total mass of dried fruits collected and the total mass of flour collected? Give your answer in kg.
(a)
Number of packets of lentils collected = 1 u
1 u = 26
Total number of packets of food items collected
= 4 u
= 4 x 26
= 104
Number of packets of milo collected
= 104 - 14 - 26 - 38
= 26
(b)
1 kg = 1000 g
10 kg = 10 x 1000 = 10000
Total mass of flour collected
= 14 x 10000
= 140000 g
Total mass of dried fruits collected
= 38 x 370
= 14060 g
Difference between the total mass of dried fruits and the total mass of flour collected
= 140000 - 14060
= 125940 g
1000 g = 1 kg
125940 g = 125940 ÷ 1000 = 125.94 kg
Answer(s): (a) 26; (b) 125.94 kg
