Question

If the weight of 9 sheets of thick paper is 30 grams, how many sheets of the same paper would weigh 1 1/4 kilograms?

Answer 1

Weight of 9 sheets of the paper = 30 g

ie No of sheets of paper in 30 g = 9

No of sheets of paper in 1g = 9/30

= 0.3

1 ¼ kg = 1.25 kg = 1250 g

No of sheets of paper in 1250 g = 0.3 * 1250

= 375 sheets
