A child has 5 apples that weigh 150 g each and 3 bananas that weigh 200 g each. How many grams of fruit does the child have in total and which fruit is heavier?
Answer
1350 g, apples heavier
The correct answer is 1350 g, apples heavier — Since 750 g > 600 g, apples are heavier.
Step-by-step solution
- Weight of one apple = 150 g.
- Total weight of apples = 5 × 150 g = 750 g.
- Weight of one banana = 200 g.
- Total weight of bananas = 3 × 200 g = 600 g.
- Total weight of all fruit = 750 g + 600 g = 1350 g.
- Compare apples (750 g) with bananas (600 g).
- Since 750 g > 600 g, apples are heavier.
Common mistake: Multiplying wrong number of fruits or mis‑adding totals.
Concept tested: Adding multiple fruit weights and comparison
