Question

16 bags of sand weigh the same as 10 barrels of cement. If each barrel of cement weighs 82 kg, how much does each bag of sand weigh?​

Answer 1

Answer:

51.25 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

82 kg x 10 barrel of cement ÷ 16 bags of sand

=51.25 kg

Answer 2

let weight of each bag of sand be x kg

wt of each barrel of cement = 82kg

no. of barrel of cement = 10

total weight of the barrel of cements is

= 82x10

=820 kg

since 16 bags of sand weigh the same as 10 barrels of cement

=> 16x = 820 kg

=> x = 51.25 kg

therefore each bag of sand weighs 11.25 kg
