Question

A bag of mangoes has a total mass of 56kg. If the average mass is 1 3/5kg. Find the number of mangoes in the bag (ignor the mass of the bag)?​

Answer 1

Answer:

35

Explanation:

If one mango weighs

$1 \times \frac{3}{5}$

And the total weight is 56,then

Weight of all the mangoes in the bag = number of mangoes x weight of one mango.

Therefor, number of one mango =

$\frac{total \: weight}{weight \: of one \: mango}$

Therefore we get number of mangoes = 56÷1x3/5 which is 35
