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

Step-by-step 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=(10.222* 1000\ g)/(198\ g)\\\\n=51.92\approx 52\ \text{oranges}`

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