Question
An adult manatee has a mass of about 450 kilograms. What is the mass of 4 adult manatees?
- 900kg
- 1800kg
- 450kg
- 600g
Hint:
This question is based on unitary method. The mass of an adult manatee is given and we are required to find the mass of 4 adult manatees. So, we need to simply find the product of the number of the adult manatees and the mass of 1 adult manatee.
The correct answer is: 1800kg
Step by step solution:
Given,
mass of one adult manatee = 450 kilograms
number of adult manatees whose weight is to be found = 4
Therefore, total mass = 4 x 450 kilograms
= 1800 kilograms
Thus, 4 adult manatees have a mass of 1800 kg.
Hence, option(b) is the correct option.

The total capacity represented in the picture is
Alternatively, the question can be solved as-
GIVEN-
Capacity of jug 1 = J1 = 250 ml = (250/1,000) l = 0.25 l ....................... (1l = 1,000 ml)
Capacity of jug 2 = J2 = 500 ml = (500/1,000) l = 0.5 l ....................... (1l = 1,000 ml)
Capacity of jug 3 = J3 = 500 ml = (500/1,000) l = 0.5 l ....................... (1l = 1,000 ml)
Capacity of jug 4 = J4 = 1 l
Capacity of jug 5 = J5 = 1 l
TO FIND-
Total capacity of all the jugs in the given picture.
SOLUTION-
Total of jugs in the given picture = J1 + J2 + J3 + J4 + J5
∴ Total of jugs in the given picture = 0.25l + 0.5 l + 0.5 l + 1l + 1l
∴ Total of jugs in the given picture = 3.25 l
Final Answer remains the same.
