Derek uses a 136 cm flat steel bar that weighs 4 kg to make rack in the garage. Determine the weight of a 170 cm steel bar

Respuesta :

The weight of a 170 cm steel bar will be 5 Kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Derek uses a 136 cm flat steel bar that weighs 4 kg to make rack in the garage.

1 kg = 1000 gm

So the weight of 1 cm steel bar will be  [tex]\frac{4 }{136}[/tex] kg

Weight of 1 cm bar = [tex]\frac{4000}{136}[/tex] gm

Let the weight of a 170 cm steel bar will be [tex]\frac{4000 }{136}[/tex] × [tex]170[/tex] gm

⇒[tex]4000[/tex] × [tex]1.25[/tex] gm

⇒ 5000 gm

⇒5 kg

Hence, the weight of a 170 cm steel bar will be 5 Kg
