Question

Solve for $x$:

100 kilograms × $x$ = 100 million tonnes

Answer 1

Answer:

We know,

1 Tonne = 1000 kilograms.

To set a perfect equation, we have to make the Right Hand Side and the Left Hand Side equal.

Hence,

100 million tonnes

= 100,000,000 tonnes

Convertion in Kilograms:-

100,000,000 × 1000 kilograms

= 100,000,000,000 kilograms

ACCORDING TO THE QUESTION:-

$100x = 1000000000000$

(We have made a perfect equation making the units {in kilograms} same)

$\implies x = \frac{1000000000000}{100}$

(Taken 100 to the Right Hand Side)

$\implies x = \frac{{\cancel{1000000000000}}}{{\cancel{100}}}$

(Cancelled 100 and 100,000,000,000 by taking 100 as common, i.e.

1. 100(1000000000) = 100,000,000,000 &
2. 100(1) = 100)

$\green{\implies x = 10000000000}$

REQUIRED ANSWER:-

$\therefore$The value of 'x' in the given equation is 10000000000.
