Adam can earn money recycling aluminium cans. each can weighs 15 g, and he can get paid 50p per kg. if adam earns £15, how many cans has he recycled?  

The correct answer is:

2000 cans.

Explanation:

It takes 100 p to make 1 £.  This means we can write 50 p as 0.50£.

He earns 15£; since each kg of cans gives him 50 p, or 0.50£, we divide to find out the number of kg of cans:

15/0.5 = 30

He sells 30 kg of cans.  1 kg = 1000 g; this means that 30 kg = 30(1000) = 30000 g.  Each can is 15 g; this means he sold 30000/15 = 2000 g.

aloha~! my name is zalgo and i am here to you out on this gracious day. in order to compare the ratios easily, it is best that we simplify the question first. so, the cougars would have 6 wins for 5 losses, bobcats make 2 wins for 1 loss. bulldogs and tigers have a ratio where you can't simplify it. so, the team with the lowest rate would be the bobcats.

i hope that this ! : d
