Priyadarshini mixed 4.8 kg of almonds, 2500 g of raisin and 3.5 kg of cashews and packed the mixture equally into three dozen packets. What is the weight of each packet ?
Answer: C
Each packet weighs 300 g.
Convert everything to one unit and divide by the number of packets (three dozen = 36):
\[ \begin{aligned} \text{Total} &= 4.8 + 2.5 + 3.5 = 10.8\ \text{kg} \\ &= 10800\ \text{g} \\ \text{Each packet} &= \frac{10800}{36} = 300\ \text{g} \end{aligned} \]
The trap is the mixed units: the raisins are given in grams (2500 g = 2.5 kg). 250 g and 500 g do not come from any correct conversion, and 650 g would need a much larger total.
