Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3 1/2 kg of sugar costs 63 rupees

 

3 1/2 kg = 7/2 kg

 

We want to find out how much 1 3/4 kg of sugar costs. Let's call this amount x.

1 3/4 kg = 7/4 kg

 

We can form an equation of proportions:

 

(7/4 kg) / (7/2 kg) = (x rupees)/(63 rupees)

 

(7/4) / (7/2) = (7/4)*(2/7) = 1/2

 

So, 1/2 = x/63

 

This yields

 

x = 63/2 = 31.5 rupees through cross multiplication

 

So, 1 3/4 kg of sugar costs 31.5 rupees.
