Person A had 6 melons, Person B had 5 carrots, Person C had 20 grapes. If 10 grapes are worth 1 carrot and 5 carrots are worth 1 melon, how many grapes are worth 6 melons?

Rationale

120 grapes are worth 6 melons.

This conclusion is based on the conversion rates provided in the question. To find out how many grapes are equivalent to 6 melons, we first need to convert melons into carrots and then carrots into grapes.

A (60) YOUR ANSWER

This is incorrect because it seems to assume that 1 melon is worth 10 grapes. However, according to the conversion rates given in the question, 5 carrots are worth 1 melon, and 10 grapes are worth 1 carrot. Therefore, 1 melon is worth 50 grapes (5 carrots x 10 grapes), not 10.

B (30) YOUR ANSWER

This answer is incorrect as it appears to use a lower conversion rate than provided in the question. Given the conversion rates, 1 melon is worth 50 grapes. Therefore, 6 melons would be equivalent to 300 grapes, not 30.

C (120) CORRECT

This is incorrect. According to the conversion rates given, 1 melon is worth 50 grapes (5 carrots x 10 grapes). Therefore, 6 melons are worth 300 grapes (6 melons x 50 grapes), not 120.

D (300) YOUR ANSWER

This is correct because it applies the correct conversion rates. If 1 melon is worth 50 grapes, then 6 melons are worth 300 grapes (6 x 50).

Conclusion

By applying the conversion rates provided in the question, we find that 1 melon is equivalent to 50 grapes. Therefore, 6 melons would be equivalent to 300 grapes. This demonstrates the importance of using correct conversion rates and performing accurate calculations when solving problems like these.
