Question

48 apples weigh 4.2 kg how many should be there in 3 boxes weighing 17.5 kg each

Answer 1

48 apples weigh 4.2 kg
therefore 1 apple weighs 4.2/48 kg = 0.0875kg
there are 3 boxes each weighing 17.5 kg
therefore total weight of apples is 17.5*3=52.5
therefore total no of apples in the 3 boxes = (total weight)/(weight of one                                                                                apple)
                                                                   = 52.5/0.0875 = 600
therefore there are 600 apples in the 3 boxes
therefore each box contains 200 apples

Answer 2

4.2/48/17.5*3
this should be thé number
