Step-by-step explanation:
Weight of 56 books is 7 kg ( ie 7000 g).
Therefore, weight of a single book will be:
(7000/56) g = 125 g
Thus, 56 books each of 125 g weight collectively weighs 7000 g or 7 kg.
The weight of 90 books will be:
(125 * 90) g = 11250 g or 11.25 kg
Let the number of books weighing 7.5 kg be ‘x'. Then x multiplied by 125 equals 7500.
(x * 125) g = 7500 g
Therefore x = 7500 / 125 books
Hence, x = 60 books. Thus, 60 books each weighing 125 g all together weighs 7.5 kg.
