Answer 1

Answer:

52.5 kg ANS

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of a pile of sand = 90kg

Ratio of weight of sand in three bags = 2:3:7

Let the weight be 2x kg, 3x kg, 7x kg respectively A.T.Q.

= 2x + 3x +7x = 90

= 12x = 90

= X= 90/12

= X = 7.5 kg

Weight of sand in medium bag =

= 3 × 7.5

= 52.5 kg ANS

I hope this answer is correct
