Question

A shopkeeper bought 7upon 9 kg of potatoes. He packed
them into packets each containing 14 upon 63 kg of potatoes.
How many packets of potatoes did he make?​

Answer 1

Answer:

3.5 packets

Step-by-step explanation:

7/9kg=n×14/63.

n= (7×63)÷(9×14).

n=3.5 packets

Answer 2

The shopkeeper packed 3 packets of potatoes and still had 1/9 kgs of potatoes left

1) Weight of potatoes bought by Shopkeeper  = 7/9 kg

2) Weight of potatoes packed in each packet  = 14/63 kg

Simplifying, 14/63 kg = 2/9 kg

3) Numbers of packets packed would be (7/9)/(2/9) = 3.5 kgs

4) Hence, the shopkeeper packed 3 packets of potatoes and still had 1/9 kgs of potatoes left
