Answer:
The required number of bowls are 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A sugar bowl holds 237 grams. You have a one kilogram bag of sugar.
To find : Estimate how many bowls of sugar you can fill from the bag?
Solution :
1 bowl can hold 237 gram of sugar.
We have, 1 kg of sugar or 1000 gram of sugar.
According to question,
237 gram of sugar can hold in 1 bowl.
So, 1 gram of sugar can hold in [tex]\frac{1}{237}[/tex] bowl.
1000 gram of sugar can hold in [tex]\frac{1000}{237}[/tex] bowl.
1000 gram of sugar can hold in [tex]4.21[/tex] bowl.
Which means, The required number of bowls are 5.
As 4 bowls have [tex]237\times 4=948[/tex] grams of sugar.
Sugar left is 1000-948=52 grams
That 52 grams is filled into 5th bowl.
