Question 7 • * SY2025-26 - 1205010 M/J Grade 6 Mathematics Sem 1 CR

A market sells 6 cans of food for every 7 boxes of food. The market sold a total of 26 cans and boxes today. How many of each kind did the market sell?

Answer
A
6 cans and 20 boxes
B
12 cans and 14 boxes
C
14 cans and 12 boxes
D
20 cans and 6 boxes

Explanation

The ratio has 6 + 7 = 13 total parts. Since 26 items were sold, each part represents 26 ÷ 13 = 2 items. So the market sold 6 × 2 = 12 cans and 7 × 2 = 14 boxes, which is choice B.
