Question

Jason is ordering a regular fruit basket for his grandmother. It includes 8 mangoes and pounds of other various fruits. The total weight of the fruit in the basket cannot weigh more than pounds, otherwise he would have to order the deluxe fruit basket at a higher price. Assuming the weight of each mango is the same, what is the most each mango can weigh so Jason can avoid having to order the deluxe basket?

Answer 1

1 kilo = 2.20462 pounds

2.20462 divided by 8 = 0.2755775

This is how much each mango can weigh: 0.3 (rounded to 1 d.p.) pounds
This is the same as 4.8 ounces.

Hope this helps :)
