how much people should be gathered to weigh equal as 41,745 ants

Answer 1

Answer:

• 208 people should be gathered to weigh equal as 41,745 ants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

• 5 people have the same weight as of 1000 ants have.

To Find:

• How much people should be gathered to weigh equal as 41,745 ants.

Let us assume:

• x people should be gathered to weigh equal as 41,745 ants.

Finding the number of people:

According to the question.

⟿ 1000 : 5 = 41745 : x

⟿ 1000/5 = 41745/x

⟿ 200 = 41745/x

⟿ 200x = 41745

⟿ x = 41745/200

⟿ x = 208 (approx.)

Hence,

• 208 people should be gathered to weigh equal as 41,745 ants.

Answer 2

Given :-

if 5 people have the same weight as of 1000 ants have

how much people should be gathered to weigh equal as 41,745 ants

To Find :-

how much people should be gathered to weigh equal as 41,745 ants

Solution :-

By proportional method

Ants : People

1000 : 5

41,745 : x

x(1000) = 5(41745)

1000x = 208725

x = 208725/1000

x = 208.725
