Question

Martha bought a 0.45​-kilogram bottle of spice. She uses 60 grams a week. Is one bottle of spice enough for 9 ​weeks? Explain.

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

Half of a kilogram or 0.5 is 500 grams.

The total grams for nine weeks (60 x 9) is 540

Since Martha bought a 0.45 kilogram bottle, which is less than a half, she doesn't have enough of the spice.

Martha would need a 0.54 kilogram bottle to have the right amount.

Answer 2

Answer: No.

Explanation:

The reason why it is not enough is that 0.45 kilograms is 450 grams, and when you divided 450 by 9, you get 50, which is 10 less than 60. Therefore, 1 bottle of spice is not enough for 9 weeks.
