Question

The weight of 12 sheets of thick paper is 40 grams, how many sheets of the same paper would weigh 16 (2÷3) kilograms please give me fast reply

Answer 1

If 12  sheets of paper weigh   40 grams 
    X sheets of paper weight    16  2/3  or  50/3  grams

 X = $\frac{12*50/3}{40}=5$

Answer is 5 sheets.

Answer 2

Heya user, 

--> 40 grams = 12 sheets
=> 1 gram = 12 / 40 sheets
=> 16 + 2/3 gram = 50 / 3 grams = [ 50 / 3 ] * [ 12 / 40 ] sheets
=> [ 50 / 3 ] grams = 5 sheets
=> [ 50 / 3 ] * 1000 grams = 5000 sheets
=> [ 50 / 3 ] kg = 5000 sheets

Sooo, 5000 sheets will weigh the required amount
