Angie mixes the fertilizer for her plants at the beginning of the week. She puts 40 g of the fertilizer-water solution in each of seven closed containers and uses one container each day to water her plant.

Question

One day, she goes outside to get a container and finds that the solution in it is frozen. How much mass should the frozen solution in the container have?
A.
20 g
B.
40 g
C.
10 g
D.

Answer 1

The solution in each of the seven containers is 40 g. Since Angie puts 40 g of the fertilizer-water solution into each container, the mass of the frozen solution in the container should also be 40 g. Therefore, the correct answer is:

B. 40 g
