What is a fraction?
Fraction number consists of two parts, one is the top of the fraction number which is called the numerator and the second is the bottom of the fraction number which is called the denominator.
It is given that:
You have 9kg of oats and cup scales that gears of 50g and 200g.
Total oats need to measure = 9kg
As we know in 1 kg there are 1000 grams.
1 kg = 1000 grams
9kg = 9000 grams
2kg = 2000 grams
Cup scales that gears: 50g and 200g
The number of cups if consider one cup is of 250 grams( = 200 + 50)
Number of cups = 2000/250
Number of cups = 8
In three weighs it is not possible to measure the 2kg or 2000 grams.
Thus, in 8 cups it is possible to measure the 2kg or 2000 grams but in three weighs it is not possible to measure the 2kg or 2000 grams.
