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?

The correct answer is 300 g.

Step 1: Convert all given weights into grams (g)
To find the total weight, let's first convert all the given quantities into the same unit (grams).

Weight of almonds = 4.8 kg
Since 1 kg = 1000 g,
Weight of almonds in grams = $4.8\times 1000=4800\text{ g}$

Weight of raisins = 2500 g

Weight of cashews = 3.5 kg
Weight of cashews in grams = $3.5\times 1000=3500\text{ g}$

Step 2: Calculate the total weight of the mixture
Now, add the weights of all three items together:

$\text{Total weight}=4800\text{ g}+2500\text{ g}+3500\text{ g}$

$\text{Total weight}=10800\text{ g}$

Step 3: Determine the total number of packets
The mixture is packed equally into three dozen packets.
Since 1 dozen = 12 items,
3 dozen packets = $3\times 12=36\text{ packets}$

Step 4: Find the weight of each packet
Divide the total weight by the total number of packets:

$\text{Weight of each packet}=\frac{10800\text{ g}}{36}$

$\text{Weight of each packet}=300\text{ g}$

Thus, the weight of each packet is 300 g.
