Solve for x²: Converting 100kg Expression to Tonnes

Question

x2×100kg=?T x^2\times100kg=?T

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To convert the given expression from kilograms to tons, we need to follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Express the weight in kilograms. The given expression is x2×100 kg x^2 \times 100 \text{ kg} .
  • Step 2: Convert kilograms to tons by dividing by 1000, because 1 ton=1000 kg 1 \text{ ton} = 1000 \text{ kg} .

Now, implementing these steps, we first have the expression in kilograms:
x2×100 kg x^2 \times 100 \text{ kg}

To convert this to tons, divide by 1000:
x2×1001000 \frac{x^2 \times 100}{1000}

Simplify the expression:
=x210 = \frac{x^2}{10}

This result shows that the expression x2×100 kg x^2 \times 100 \text{ kg} is equivalent to x210 tons \frac{x^2}{10} \text{ tons} .

Therefore, the correct answer is:

x210\frac{x^2}{10}

Answer

x210 \frac{x^2}{10}
