Question

2000 paper clips have a total weight of 6.5Kg. Find the total weight of 50 such paper clips in grams. ​

Answer 1

Given :-

Weight of 2000 paper clips = 6.5 kg

To Find :-

The weight of 50 such paper clips in grams .

Solution :-

Firstly let's convert the given weight from kilograms (Kg) to grams (g) .

We know that,

1 Kg = 1000 g

=> 6.5 Kg = (1000 × 6.5) g

=> 6.5 Kg = 6500 g

Now,

Weight of 2000 clips = 6500 g

=> Weight of 1 such clip =$\dfrac{6500}{2000}$

=> Weight of 50 such clips =${\dfrac{6500}{2000}}\: \times\: 50$

= 162.5

Therefore, weight of 50 such paper clips is 162.5 g
