Question

If the weight of $6$ sheets of paper is $162gram$. How many sheets of the same paper would weigh $13.5kg$?

Answer 1

Step $1:$Finding the number of sheets of paper in $1gram$

It is given $6$ sheets of paper is $162gram$

So, the number of sheets of paper in $1gram$ $=\frac{6}{162}$

Step $2:$Finding the number of sheets of paper in $13.5kg$

We know that $1kg=1000grams$

Thus $13.5kg=13.5\times 1000$

$=13500grams$

Now, the number of sheets of paper in $13500grams$ $=\frac{6}{162}\times 13500$

$=\frac{81000}{162}$

$=500$

Hence $500$ sheets of paper would weigh $13.5kg$
