Question

Each bag of cement weighs $48.5$ kg. How many such bags will weigh $2231$ kg?

Answer 1

Total weight of all the bags $=2231$ kg
Weight of each bag $=48.5$ kg
Number of bags $=$ Total weight $÷$ Weight of each bag
$=\frac{2231}{48.5}$kg
$=\frac{2231\times 10}{48.5\times 10}$
$=\frac{22310}{485}$
$=46$
Hence, $46$ bags of cement will weigh $2231$ kg.
