The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine how many identical articles weigh 224 kg, given that 11 identical articles weigh 77 kg. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Find the weight of one article:** - We know that 11 articles weigh 77 kg. - To find the weight of one article, we divide the total weight by the number of articles: \[ \text{Weight of one article} = \frac{77 \text{ kg}}{11} = 7 \text{ kg} \] 2. **Determine how many articles would weigh 224 kg:** - Now that we know the weight of one article is 7 kg, we can find out how many articles would weigh 224 kg. - We do this by dividing the total weight (224 kg) by the weight of one article (7 kg): \[ \text{Number of articles} = \frac{224 \text{ kg}}{7 \text{ kg}} = 32 \] ### Final Answer: Therefore, the number of articles that would weigh 224 kg is **32 articles**. ---
