Answer
0.2 kg

The correct answer is 0.2 kg — 2 ÷ 10 = 0.2, so each bee contributes 0.2 kg of honey.

Step-by-step solution

  1. Let total honey be 2 kg and number of bees be 10.
  2. Compute average contribution by dividing 2 by 10.
  3. 2 ÷ 10 = 0.2, so each bee contributes 0.2 kg of honey.
Common mistake: Dividing incorrectly or misplacing decimal point

Concept tested: Honey contribution per bee
