Answer 1

Option D

ANSWER:

The weight of the apple in grams is 2142.9 grams.

SOLUTION:

Given that an apple weighs 75 ounces.

And 200 grams are approximately equals to 7 ounces.

We have to find the weight of apple in grams

We know that, 200 grams equals to 7 ounces,

Now, we can write that as,

7 ounces = 200 grams ------- eqn (1)

Let the weight of apple in grams be x

So, 75 ounces = x ---------- eqn (2)

Eqn 1 and eqn 2 are propotional. Hence we get

`(7)/(75) = (200)/(x)`

`7 * x = 200 * 75`

`x = (200 * 75)/(7)`

`x = (15000)/(7) = 2142.82 grams`

From above options, fourth option is similar to the answer.

Hence the weight of the apple in grams is 2142.9 grams.
