Answer
21000 grams

The correct answer is 21000 grams — Thus, 21000 grams of bread are required.

Step-by-step solution

  1. Compute total number of members: 5 families × 4 members = 20.
  2. Calculate daily bread for all members: 20 × 150 g = 3000 g.
  3. Multiply by 7 days: 3000 g × 7 = 21000 g.
  4. Thus, 21000 grams of bread are required.
Common mistake: Forgetting to multiply the daily amount by the number of days

Concept tested: Multiplication of quantities
