Question

If the weight of 12 sheets of thick paper is 40 grams, how many sheets of the same
paper would weigh 2 kilograms?​

Answer 1

Answer:

2 kilogram is the weight of 600 sheets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of sheets =12

Weight of 12 sheets = 40 gms.

Here weight of 12 sheets is in gm. but weight of paper is in kg. So we convert weight of paper in gm.

Weight of paper=2 kg.

As we know,

1 kg. =1000 gm.

2 kg.=2 × 1000=2000 gm.

40 gm.is the weight of 12 sheets

∴ 1 gm. is the weight of 12/40 sheets        (no.of sheets/weight)

∴ 2000 gm. is the weight of (12/40 ) × 2000   {(no. of sheets/weight) × total                    weight}

                                              =12 × 50

                                              =600 sheets
