Answer 1

Answer:

Weight of 55 liter jug of sports drink= 7.5 kg

As, the relationship between volume and weight is proportional.

Now, we have to find weight of 22 liter jug.

Let weight of 22 liter jug= x kg

So, $\frac{55}{7.5}=\frac{22}{x}\\\\ x=\frac{22\times 7.5}{55}\\\\x=\frac{22\times75}{550}=\frac{150}{50}=3$

So, weight of 22 liter jug= 3 kg
