• We dried 6 kg fresh fish to get _____ kg dried fish.
• For 6 kg fresh fish we have to pay 6 × ______ = Rs 90.

Answer 1

• We dried 6 kg of fresh fish to get 2 kg of dried fish.
• For 6 kg fresh fish we have to pay 6 × 15 = Rs 90.
• We will sell 2 kg dried fish and get 2 × 70 = Rs 140.
• So if we dry 6 kg fresh fish we will earn 140 – 90 = Rs 50.
• But if we dry 6000 kg we can earn Rs 50 × 1000 = Rs 50000 in one month!
