Theta taa factroy produces equal number of 1/4kg packets and 1/2kg packets of tea. How many 1/4kg packets were produced from a totol of 45 tonnes of tea. Pliz explain
45 tonnes is 45000 kg in the metric system. Since the number of large and small packets is the same, each pair uses up 3/4 kg of tea and there are
45000/0.75 = 60,000 pairs of packets.
60,000 of the packets are small ones.
To find out how many 1/4kg packets were produced from a total of 45 tonnes of tea, we need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the total weight of tea from tonnes to grams.
Since 1 tonne is equal to 1000 kilograms, and 1 kilogram is equal to 1000 grams, we can convert tonnes to grams using the following calculations:
45 tonnes * 1000 kilograms/tonne * 1000 grams/kilogram = 45,000,000 grams.
Step 2: Determine the total number of 1/4kg packets of tea.
Since each 1/4kg packet of tea weighs 250 grams, we can calculate the total number of 1/4kg packets by dividing the total weight in grams by 250:
45,000,000 grams / 250 grams/packet = 180,000 packets.
Therefore, a total of 180,000 1/4kg packets of tea were produced from 45 tonnes of tea.
