9 kg |
Tea |

Oats |
270 g |
Dried Fruits |
300 g |
What is the difference between the total mass of tea collected and the total mass of dried fruits collected? Give your answer in kg.
(a)
Number of packets of oats collected= 1 u
1 u = 18
Total number of packets of food items collected
= 6 u
= 6 x 18
= 108
Number of packets of flour collected
= 108 - 30 - 18 - 36
= 24
(b)
Total mass of tea collected
= 30 x 310
= 9300 g
Total mass of dried fruits collected
= 36 x 300
= 10800 g
Difference between the total mass of tea and the total mass of dried fruits collected
= 10800 - 9300
= 1500 g
1000 g = 1 kg
1500 g = 1500 ÷ 1000 = 1.5 kg
Answer(s): (a) 24; (b) 1.5 kg
