Answer
View full question & answer→Total weight of all the bags $= 2231kg$
Weight of each bag $= 48.5kg$
Number of bags $=\frac{\text{Totalweight}}{\text{Weight of each bag}}$
$=\Big(\frac{2231}{48.5}\Big)\text{kg}$
$=\Big(\frac{2231\times10}{48.5\times10}\Big)=\frac{22310}{485}=46$
Hence, $46$ bags of cement will weigh $2231kg$
