If the weight of five sheets of paper is 20 g, how many sheets of the same paper
would weigh 2.5 kg?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN:-

=> The weight of five sheets of paper is 20g.

TO FIND:-

=> The sheets of the same paper would weigh 2.5kg.

UNDERSTANDING THE CONCEPT:-

=> According to the question,

We have the weight of five sheets that id 20g. We need to find the number of sheets of the same paper that weighs to 2.5kg.

So, First we need to convert kg to g. Then use direct variation and cross multiplication to find the total number of sheets

CONCEPT REFRESHER:-

=> We know the weight of 5 sheets is 20g. So, the weight of x sheets is 2500g.

Let the weight of 2500g be x sheets

REQUIRED ANSWER:-

=> Weight = 20g , sheets = 5

weight = 2500g , sheets = x

By using direct

$= > \frac{2500}{x} \times \frac{20}{5}$

$= > \frac{2500}{x} \times \frac{4}{1}$

Now, By using cross multiplication

=> 4x = 2500

=> × = 650

Therefore, The sheets of the same paper would weigh 2.5kg is 650 sheets.
