Question

The weight of 25 folding chairs is 15kg. How many chairs can be loaded on a track having a capacity of carrying 2025kg load?
Its a question of ratio

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of 25 chairs = 15 kg

$\therefore weight \: of \: one \: chair = \frac{15}{25} = \frac{3}{5} kg \\ No. \: of \: chairs = \frac{Capacity \: of \: truck}{weight \: of \: one \: chair } \\ = \frac{2025}{ \frac{3}{5} } = \frac{2025 \times 5}{3} \\ = 675 \times 5 = 3375$

So, 3375 chairs can be loaded on the truck.

Surely this is question of ratio, as we obtained no of chairs by dividing capacity of truck by weight of one chair.
