Question

How many $\mathrm{quintals}$ are equal to $1\mathrm{metric}\mathrm{ton}$?

Answer 1

Find the required number of $\mathrm{quintals}$

As $1\mathrm{quintal}=100\mathrm{kg}$

$\Rightarrow$ $1\mathrm{kg}=\frac{1}{100}\mathrm{quintal}$

And $1\mathrm{ton}=1000\mathrm{kg}$

$\Rightarrow$ $1\mathrm{ton}=1000\times \frac{1}{100}$$\mathrm{quintals}$

$\Rightarrow$ $1\mathrm{ton}=10\mathrm{quintals}$

Hence, $10\mathrm{quintals}$ are equal to $1\mathrm{metric}\mathrm{ton}$.
