Question

If the weight of 12 sheets of thick paper is 40 g how many sheets of the same paper would weight 2 1/2 kg

Answer 1

Answer:

8333 sheets of paper

Step-by-step explanation:

1000 grams is 1 kg

If there are 12 sheets of paper that weight 40g, then 40/12=3.33

1 sheet of paper=3.333g

If we need 2 1/2 kg of paper, 2 1/2 kg is exactly 2500g.

2500 x 3.333 = 8332.5 sheets of paper
