Question

A canteen requires 847 bananas in a week. How many bananas did it require for the months of January, February, and March 2024 together?

• A. 10,890
• B. 10,374
• C. 11,011
• D. 10,586

Hint:

To calculate for multiple months, first determine the total number of days in those months, convert days to weeks, and then multiply by the weekly requirement.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Number of days in January, February, and March 2024. - January has 31 days. - February in 2024 is a leap year, so it has 29 days. - March has 31 days. Step 2: Total number of days in these 3 months. \[ \text{Total days} = 31 \, \text{(January)} + 29 \, \text{(February)} + 31 \, \text{(March)} = 91 \, \text{days}. \] Step 3: Find the total number of weeks in these 91 days. \[ \text{Total weeks} = \frac{91}{7} = 13 \, \text{weeks}. \] Step 4: Find the total number of bananas required. The canteen requires 847 bananas in a week, so for 13 weeks: \[ \text{Total bananas} = 847 \times 13 = 11,011 \, \text{bananas}. \]
