Question

a large bottle of hire's root beer weighs 1900 grams. if a carton contains 6 large bottles of root beer, find the weigh in kilograms of 5 cartons.

Answer 1

Hello Michael,

this problem can be solved a few different ways. You can find out how many bottles of root beer are contained in 5 cases of root beer. The problem states that there are 6 bottles of root beer in a case. Therefore, there are 6 bottles/case x 5 cases = 30 bottles of root beer. each bottle contains 1900 grams of root beer or 1.9 Kg of root beer. The final answer can be reached by multiplying 30 bottles x 1.9 Kg per bottle = 57 Kg. 

5 cases of root beer would contain 30 bottles of root beer and would weigh 57 Kg. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Have a great evening!
