Okay so what you do is as follows:


625/5 = 125.


Therefore 125 pallets are needed for 625 bags.

we know that

Each pallet holds
5 bags

so

by proportion

Find the number of pallets needed for
625 bags of cement


(1)/(5) (pallet)/(bags) =(x)/(625) (pallets)/(bags)\\ \\5*x=625\\ \\x=625/5\\ \\x=125\ pallets

therefore

the answer is


125\ pallets
