Question

If an average orange weighs 75 g, how many oranges would weigh 4.5 kg?​

Answer 1

Answer:

60 oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

• Let the unknown number of oranges be x.
• Given that,

    The average weight of an orange ⇒ 75g

     Total weight of oranges ⇒ 4.5 kg

• Therefore,

      Number of oranges                       Weight ( in grams)

              1                                                   75 g

              x                                                   (4.5 × 1000) g

• To find the number of oranges we can make an expression like this.

        1  ⇒  75

        x  ⇒ 4500

      Use cross multiplication and find the value of x.

         75x = 4500 × 1

         75x = 4500

     Divide both sides by 75.

           x = 60

• Therefore, 60 oranges would weight 4.5kg

Answer 2

Answer: 60 oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information

Weight = 75 g / orange

Total = 4.5 kg

Given formula

Total = Number of oranges × Average weight

Convert Kilogram unit to Gram

1 kg = 1000 g

4.5 kg = 4.5 × 1000 = 4500 g

Substitute values into the given formula

Total = Number of oranges × Average weight

Number of oranges = Total / Average weight

Number of oranges = 4500 / 75

Simplify by division

$\Large\boxed{Number~of~oranges~=~60}$
