If the weight of five sheets of paper is 20 g, how many sheets of the same paper would weigh 2.5 kg?

Given: Weight of 5 sheets of paper is 20g.

To do: Find how many sheets of same paper would weigh 2.5kg.

Solution:

Weight of 5 sheets = 20 grams.

Therefore weight of one sheet = $\frac{20}{5}$ = 4 grams.

We know that 2.5 kg = 2500 grams

So, number of sheets that would weigh 2.5 kg = $\frac{2500}{4}$

                                                                                    = 625.
