Arithmetic Reasoning

How many 5-pound bags of apples can be made from 400 apples, each weighing 1/4 pound?
A
20
B
C
50
100

Answer 1

Answer: To find the total weight of 400 apples, we need to multiply the number of apples by their weight. Each apple weighs 1/4 pound, so 400 apples weigh 400 * (1/4) = 100 pounds.

Since each bag should weigh 5 pounds, we can divide the total weight of apples (100 pounds) by 5 to find the number of bags: 100 / 5 = 20 bags.

So, the answer is 20 bags.
