Two buckets of seawater contain [tex]13\frac{28}{40}[/tex] kg of salt.
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of salt in 1 kg water = [tex]\frac{1}{40}\ kg[/tex]
It is given that;
1 liter = [tex]1\frac{12}{125} = \frac{137}{125}\ kg[/tex]
500 liters = [tex]500*\frac{137}{125} = \frac{68500}{125}[/tex]
500 liters = 548 kilogram
As,
1 kg of seawater = [tex]\frac{1}{40}\ kg[/tex] of salt
548 kilograms = [tex]\frac{1}{40}*548[/tex]
548 kilograms = [tex]13\frac{28}{40}[/tex] kilograms of salt
Two buckets of seawater contain [tex]13\frac{28}{40}[/tex] kg of salt.
