Question

if 12 sheet of a thick paper weight 45 gram, how many sheets of the same paper would weight 2 whole 1/4​

Answer 1

Answer:

Weight of one sheet=x12x=40 gx=40/ 12=3.33 gtotal weight=5/2 kg=2.5 kg=2500 gnumber of sheets=2500/3.33=750 full sheets.

Answer 2

Answer:

Total number of sheets which weigh 5/2 kilograms is 750.7

Solution:

Weight measures the heaviness of the thing or the person. Everywhere on the earth the weight of a person remains the same. Weights can be measured in grams, milligrams and kilograms etc.

Given that

Assume the weight of one sheet is x

The weight of 12 sheets of thick paper =40 grams

Therefore,

$\begin{gathered}\begin{array} { l } { 12 x = 40 \text { grams } } \\\\ { \therefore 12 x = 40 } \\\\ { x = \frac { 40 } { 12 } } \\\\ { x = 3.33 \text { grams } } \end{array}\end{gathered}$

$12x=40 grams$

$∴12x=40$

$x= </p><p>40 \div 12</p><p>$

$x=3.33 grams$

The weight of one sheet x=3.33 grams

Therefore,

=2.5 kg

=2500 grams

$</p><p>Total \: number \: of \: sheets \\ </p><p></p><p>= \frac {2500}{3.33} = 750.7= </p><p>3.33</p><p>2500$

=750.7

Therefore, Total number of sheets=750.7
