500 sheets of paper weigh 2.5kg. How much would 50 sheets weigh?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.25 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

500/50 = 10 <- 10 lots of 50 paper make up 500 pages

2.5*1000 = 2500 g <-conversion of kg to g

2500g/10 = 250g <- grams for 500 divided by lots of 10 to give grams for 50

250g/1000 = 0.25 kg<- grams for 50 divided by 1000g to convert to kilos
