Question
In how many different ways can you balance this weight of `3/4` kg?
- ______
- ______
- ______
Solution
We know 1 kg = 1000 g
Thus, `1/4` kg = 1000 ÷ 4 = 250 g
`3/4`kg = 250 g × 3 = 750 g
Following are the different ways in which we can balance the weight of
`3/4` kg -
- 500 g + 200 g + 50 g = 750 g
- 250 g + 250 g + 250 g = 750 g
- 250 g + 250 g + 200 g + 50 g = 750 g
