Question

50 sweets weigh 200g
If each sweet weighs the same, workout the weight of 7 sweets

Answer 1

Answer:

$\Huge \boxed{\textbf{28 grams}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the weight of 7 sweets when each sweet weighs the same, we can use the given information that 50 sweets weigh 200g.

If 50 sweets weigh 200g, then to find the weight of 1 sweet, we divide the total weight by the number of sweets (since each sweet weighs the same):

• $\tt{Weight\, of\, 1\, sweet = \dfrac{Total\, weight}{Number\, of\, sweets}}$

• $\tt{Weight\, of\, 1\, sweet = \dfrac{200g}{50} = 4g}$

Now that we know each sweet weighs 4g, we can calculate the weight of 7 sweets by multiplying the weight of one sweet by the number of sweets:

• $\tt{Weight\, of\, 7\, sweets = Weight\, of\, 1\, sweet\, \times\, Number\, of\, sweets}$

• $\tt{Weight\, of\, 7\, sweets = 4g \times 7 = 28g}$

Therefore, the weight of 7 sweets is 28 grams.
