Question

if the weight of 6 sheets of paper is 62 grams find how many sheets of paper there are if a bundle of paper weight 15.5 kg

Answer 1

6 sheets of paper =62 g

1 sheet=62/6g

Weight of a bundle =15.5kg=15500g

Let no. of sheets be x

Therefore number of sheets in bundle=(62x/6)=15500

(31x/3)=15500

x=1500

So there are 1500 sheets in the bundle.

Answer 2

Weight of 1 sheet of paper = 62/3 = 31/3g

Weight of Bundle = 15.5 kg= 15500g

Number if sheets in a bundle=

15500g

-------------------= 1500sheets of paper

31/3g
