The correct Answer is:
To find the weight of one sheet of paper from a bundle of 500 sheets weighing 2 \( \frac{3}{10} \) kg, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction. The weight of the bundle is given as \( 2 \frac{3}{10} \) kg. To convert this to an improper fraction: - Multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator (10): \( 2 \times 10 = 20 \). - Add the numerator (3) to this result: \( 20 + 3 = 23 \). - Place this over the original denominator (10): \[ 2 \frac{3}{10} = \frac{23}{10} \text{ kg} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the weight of one sheet of paper. To find the weight of one sheet, we need to divide the total weight of the bundle by the number of sheets: \[ \text{Weight of one sheet} = \frac{\text{Total weight}}{\text{Number of sheets}} = \frac{\frac{23}{10}}{500} \] ### Step 3: Simplify the division. Dividing by a whole number is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal: \[ \frac{\frac{23}{10}}{500} = \frac{23}{10} \times \frac{1}{500} = \frac{23 \times 1}{10 \times 500} = \frac{23}{5000} \] ### Step 4: Write the final answer. Thus, the weight of one sheet of paper is: \[ \frac{23}{5000} \text{ kg} \] ### Summary of the Solution: The weight of one sheet of paper is \( \frac{23}{5000} \) kg. ---
