Suppose 2 kg of sugar contains 9 x 10^6 crystals. How many sugar crystals are there in
(i) 5 kg of sugar? (ii) 1.2 kg of sugar?
Solution:
(i) Let sugar crystals be x.
Here, the weight of sugar and the number of crystals are in direct proportion.
\begin{array}{c} \frac{2}{9 \times 10^{8}}=\frac{5}{x} \\ \Rightarrow x \times 2=5 \times 9 \times 10^{5} \\ x=\frac{5 \times 9 \times 10^{6}}{2} \\ =22.5 \times 10^{6}=2.25 \times 10^{7} \end{array}
Hence the number of sugar crystals is
(2.25 \times 10^{7}
(ii) Let sugar crystals be x.
Here the weight of sugar and the number of crystals are in direct proportion.
\begin{array}{l} \frac{2}{9 \times 10^{5}}=\frac{1.2}{x} \\ \Rightarrow x \times 2=1.2 \times 9 \times 10^{6} \\ x=\frac{1.2 \times 9 \times 10^{6}}{2} \end{array}
=0.6 \times 9 \times 10^{4}=5.4 \times 10^{6}
Hence the number of sugar crystals is 5.4 x 10^6
