Answer 2

Answer:

15 bottles must be purchased to have at least 5 kilogram of olives.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 kilogram = 1000 grams

5 kilogram = 5 × 1000 grams = 5000 grams

Given:

Net weight of one bottle of olive = 338 grams

Using unitary method,

Unitary method is used to find the value of one unit.

1 gram is contained in $\frac{1}{338}$ bottle.

5000 grams is contained in $\frac{1}{338}\times 5000$ bottles.

$\frac{1}{338}\times 5000= 14.79$ (approx)

Since, numbers of bottles must be an integers thus rounding it off to the nearest integer 15.

Thus, 15 bottles must be purchased to have at least 5 kilogram of olives.
