Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

b) 70 footballs

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of footballs that weigh 140 kg, we divide the total weight by the weigh of a football.

Therefore the required number of footballs

= total weight ÷ weight of a football

= 140 kg ÷ 2 kg

= 70

Answer: Option (b) 70 footballs

70 footballs will weigh 140 kg

Note:

If you are not able to do the division work, then you can simply do additions. Keep writing 2, 2, 2, ... and add 2s until you get 140. You will see that you have taken 70, 2s.
