Option A: 16 cans is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total weight of carton = 20 pounds

Weight of each can = 1 1/4 = 5/4 pounds

So,

[tex]No.\ of\ can = \frac{Total\ weight}{Weight\ of\ one\ can}\\=\frac{20}{\frac{5}{4}}\\=20 * \frac{4}{5}\\=4*4\\=16[/tex]

There are 16 cans in the carton.

Hence,

Option A: 16 cans is the right answer
