Question

(2) Sakshi prepared some jam at home and filled it in bottles. After giving away 7 of

the bottles to her friends, she still has 12 for herself. How many bottles had she

made in all? If she filled 250g of jam in each bottle, what was the total weight of

the jam she made? statement​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sakshi gave away 7 bottles

gave away is the same as saying 'minus' or '-'

We can write S instead of Sakshi, and - instead of gave away, like this:

S-7

Sakshi still has 12 left, meaning S-7=12

To find out how much S has at the start, we need to add 7 to each side of the equation

S-7 +7=12 +7

Then, the equation becomes:

S=19. Sakshi had made 19 bottles in all. If she filled 250g in each bottle, this means:

1 bottle 250g + 1bottle250g +1bottle250g + 1bottle250g + 1bottle250g+ 1bottle250g+ 1bottle250g+ 1bottle250g+ 1bottle250g.

This is the same as saying 250g x 9.

This equals to 2250g which is 1.25kg.
