Answer 1

Answer:

2000 Al Cans

Step-by-step explanation:

Adam can earn money recycling aluminium cans.

Each can weighs 15 g, and he can get paid 50p per kg.

If Adam earns Rs 15, how many cans has he recycled?

1 Kg = 1000gm

1000gm of aluminium can  = 50 Paise = 0.5 Rs

1 gm of Al Can = 0.5/1000

15 gm of Al can = (0.5/1000) * 15 = 7.5/1000 Rs

Earning from 1 Al Can = 7.5/1000 Rs

Number of Al cans required to earn Rs 15   = 15 / (7.5/1000) = 2000

2000 Cans
