Hello Dear!!!!

Here's your answer...

12 sheets weigh 40 grams

convert 2 1/2 kg to grams

2 1/2 kg = 2500 grams

sheets------grams
12----------40
x-----------2500

cross multipliaction

x = 2500*12/40

x = 30000/40

x = 750

750 sheets

hay,


=> according to the question we know that


=> 12 sheets => 40 g


=> Now, we can convert 21/2 kg = 2500 g


=> Then,

$x = 2500 \times \frac{12}{40}$


$x = \frac{30000}{40}$


$x = 750$


I hope it's help you
