Question

A small bag of chips contains 0.3 of a cup of sugar. If a large bag of chips is the same as 6.4 small bags, how much sugar does a large bag contain?
A. 1.95 cups
B. 2.12 cups
C. 1.92 cups
2. 56 cups

Answer 1

The answer is C. 1.92 cups

A large bag of crisps is 6.4 times as great as the smaller bags. Therefore the larger bag also contains 6.4 times as much sugar (compared to the smaller one). Hence, 6.4 × 0.3 = 1.92. Therefore the larger bag contains 1.92 cups of sugar.
