Question

Lori wants to send a box of oranges to a friend by mail. The box of oranges cannot exceed a mass of 10.222 Kg. If each orange has a mass of 198 g what is the maximum number of oranges she can send?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given that,

The box of oranges cannot exceed a mass of 10.222 Kg if we are sending to a friend by mail.

The mass of each orange is 198 g

We know that,

1 kg = 1000 g

10.222 kg = 10.222×1000 g

Let there are n number of oranges. So,

$n=\dfrac{10.222\times 1000\ g}{198\ g}\\\\n=51.92\approx 52\ \text{oranges}$

It means she can send 52 oranges and it is maximum quantity.
