class 8th ch 1​

Answer 1

Answer:

• A full box of apples weight 16 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

• 3/4 of a box of apples weight 12 kg.

To Find:

• How much does a full box of apples weight.

Let us assume:

• A full box of apples weight x kg.

Finding a full box of apples weight:

According to the question.

→ 3/4 : 12 = 1 : x

→ (3/4)/12 = 1/x

→ 3/(12 × 4) = 1/x

Cross multiplication.

→ 3x = 48

→ x = 48/3

→ x = 16

Hence,

• A full box of apples weight 16 kg.

Answer 2

Answer:

16 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert kilograms into grams

1 kg = 1000 g

12 kg = 12000 g

Finding the weight

3/4 = 12000 g

→ 12000 × 4/3

→ 48000/3

→ 16000 g

Therefore,

full box weighs = 16000 g

16000 g = 16 kg

Hence, required answer is 16 kg.
