To find :

The weight of 6 j bottles

Method :

Unitary Method

Solution :

$\sf \small The \: weight \: of \: one \: jam \: bottle \: is \: 20\frac{3}{4} \: kg$

$\sf \small So \: the \: weight \: of \: 6 \: jam \: bottle = 20 \frac{3}{4} kg \times 6$

$\sf \small We \: need \: to \: convert \: 20 \frac{3}{4} kg \: into \: improper \: fraction \: i.e. \: \frac{83}{4} kg$

$\sf \small \therefore \: the \: weight = \frac{83}{4} \times 6 \: kg$

$\boxed{\sf \small so \: the \: weight \: of \: 6 \: jam \: bottles \: is \: 124.5 \: kg}$
