Answer :
Let's solve each of these problems step by step:
A bag of rice weighs 97.8 kg. How much rice is contained in 500 such bags?
To find the total weight of rice in 500 bags, we need to multiply the weight of one bag by the number of bags.
[tex]\text{Total weight of rice} = 97.8 \text{ kg} \times 500[/tex]
[tex]= 48,900 \text{ kg}[/tex]
Therefore, 500 bags of rice weigh 48,900 kg.
Find the weight of 16 bags of cement, each weighing 48.450 kg.
Again, multiply the weight of one bag by the number of bags.
[tex]\text{Total weight of cement} = 48.450 \text{ kg} \times 16[/tex]
[tex]= 775.2 \text{ kg}[/tex]
Therefore, the total weight of 16 bags of cement is 775.2 kg.
A small bottle holds 0.845 kg of jam. How much jam will be there in 72 such bottles?
Multiply the weight of jam in one bottle by the number of bottles.
[tex]\text{Total weight of jam} = 0.845 \text{ kg} \times 72[/tex]
[tex]= 60.84 \text{ kg}[/tex]
Therefore, 72 bottles hold a total of 60.84 kg of jam.
1 metre of cloth costs ₹158.50. What is the cost of 4.5 metres of cloth?
To find the cost of 4.5 metres, multiply the cost per metre by the number of metres.
[tex]\text{Total cost} = 158.50 \text{ INR} \times 4.5[/tex]
[tex]= 713.25 \text{ INR}[/tex]
Therefore, the cost of 4.5 metres of cloth is ₹713.25.
