Question 43

The weight of a dozen pieces of chocolate is 60 g.

To find the weight of a dozen pieces of chocolate, we multiply the weight of one piece (5 g) by the number of pieces in a dozen (12). Therefore, 5 g x 12 = 60 g.

A) 60 g

This option is correct because it accurately reflects the calculation of the weight of a dozen pieces of chocolate. By multiplying the weight of one piece (5 g) by 12, we arrive at the total weight of 60 g.

B) 6 g

This option is incorrect as it represents the weight of just one piece of chocolate rather than a dozen. The calculation of 5 g for one piece does not account for the total when multiplied by 12.

C) 600 g

This option is incorrect because it suggests an inflated total weight. If one piece weighs 5 g, multiplying it by 12 cannot yield 600 g, as that would imply each piece weighs 50 g, which is not the case.

D) 660 g

This option is also incorrect. It does not logically follow from the given weight of one piece of chocolate. The calculation of 5 g per piece multiplied by 12 does not support this total weight.

Conclusion

The correct answer of 60 g is derived from the straightforward multiplication of 5 g by 12, which is the number of pieces in a dozen. All other options either misrepresent the calculations or misunderstand the weight of a single piece, confirming that they do not reflect the accurate total weight of a dozen pieces of chocolate.
