There are 500 sheets in a pack of paper. 500 sheets of paper weigh 2.5kg. Work out the weight of 50 sheets of paper.

0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

the weight of a sheet = 2.5kg/500

the weight of a sheet = 0.005kg

the weight of 50 sheets = 0.005 * 50

the weight of 50 sheets = 0.25kg

since it's a uniform rate

500 sheets = 2.5kg

50 sheets = xkg

then you cross multiply.Having:

500*x = 2.5 * 50

500x = 125

then x = 125/500

x = 0.25

constant of proportionality = 3 and the equation is c = 3p.

step-by-step explanation:

c = kp   where c = amount of caffeine in mg., p = oz of pepsi and k is the constant of proportionality.

substituting the values given:

24 = 8k

k = 3.

the same value of k will be obtained if we substitute the other given values.
