Exercise #1

555×200kg=?T \frac{55}{5}\times200\operatorname{kg}=?T

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

First, let's simplify the fraction:

555=11 \frac{55}{5}=11

This leaves us with:

11×200kg 11\times200kg

Now, let's perform the calculation, giving us:

2200kg 2200kg

Note that we need the answer in tons:

T=1000kg T=1000kg

2200kg1000=2.2T \frac{2200kg}{1000}=2.2T

Answer

2.2

Exercise #2

721×100gr=?kg \frac{7}{21}\times100gr=?kg

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Simplify the fraction 721\frac{7}{21}.
  • Step 2: Multiply the simplified fraction by 100 grams.
  • Step 3: Convert the resulting grams to kilograms.

Let's work through each step:

Step 1: Simplify 721\frac{7}{21}:
Both 7 and 21 can be divided by their greatest common divisor, which is 7. Simplifying gives us:

721=7÷721÷7=13\frac{7}{21} = \frac{7 \div 7}{21 \div 7} = \frac{1}{3}.

Step 2: Calculate 13×100\frac{1}{3} \times 100 grams:
Multiply to find the weight in grams:

13×100=100333.33\frac{1}{3} \times 100 = \frac{100}{3} \approx 33.33 grams.

Step 3: Convert grams to kilograms:
To convert grams to kilograms, divide by 1000:

33.331000=0.03333...\frac{33.33}{1000} = 0.03333... kilograms.
This is expressed as a fraction equivalent to:

130\frac{1}{30} kilograms (after realizing rounding applies to a precise fractional representation).

Thus, the correct answer is 130 \frac{1}{30} kilograms.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 130\frac{1}{30} kg.

Answer

130 \frac{1}{30}
