Question

Rohan packed $17.5kg$ of sugar in a number of bags. If he put $2.5kg$ of sugar in each bag, how bags of sugar did he pack?​

Answer 1

To find the number of bags we have to divide $17.5kg$ by $2.5kg$

Now, $17.5÷2.5=\frac{175}{10}÷\frac{25}{10}$

$$\begin{gathered} =\frac{\sout{{175}^7}}{\sout{10}}\times \frac{\sout{10}}{\sout{25}} \\ =7 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, $7$ the number of bags are required.
