Question

This is related to the topic ratio.

The weight of 25 folding chairs is 15kg. How many chairs can be loaded on a truck having the capacity of carrying 2025 kg load?

Answer 1

Answer:

3375

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be equal to no of chairs

25::15kg::x::2025

15x = 25 × 2025

x = (25 × 2025)/15

= 50625/15

= 3375

Answer 2

GIVEN :-

• The weight of 25 folding chairs is 15 kg.

TO FIND :-

• How many chairs can be loaded on a truck having the capacity of carrying 2025 kg load.

SOLUTION :-

$\setlength{\unitlength}{1 cm}\begin{picture}(20,15)\put(2,4){\large\sf 25 :}\put(2.8,4){\large\sf 15\: ::}\put(3.9,4){\large\sf x :}\put(4.7,4){\large\sf 2025}\qbezier(2.2,3.7)(2.2,3.7)(2.2,3)\qbezier(2.2,3)(2.2,3)(5,3)\qbezier(5,3)(5,3)(5,3.7)\qbezier(2.9,3.7)(2.9,3.7)(2.9,3.3)\qbezier(2.9,3.3)(2.9,3.3)(4.2,3.3)\qbezier(4.2,3.3)(4.2,3.3)(4.2,3.7)\put(3.2,3.39){\sf Means}\put(3,2.6){\sf Extremes}\end{picture}$

Here , as we know that the product the product of means equal to the product of extremes.

⇒ Product of means = Product of extremes.

⇒ 15 × x = 25 × 2025

⇒ 15x = 50625

⇒ x = 50625/15

⇒ x = 3375.

From the above value of x we conclude that 3375 chairs can be loaded on a truck having the capacity of carrying 2025 kg load.

Hence required answer to this question is 3375 chairs.
