Answer:

There are 10 in 4kg

Explanation:

Given

$1\ Tangerine = (2)/(5)kg$

Required

Determine the number in 4kg

Represent this with x.

To calculate this, we make use of the following:

x * (2)/(5)kg = 4kg

Multiply through by
(5)/(2)

x * (2)/(5)kg *(5)/(2)= 4kg *(5)/(2)

x = 4*(5)/(2)

x =10

Hence, there are 10 in 4kg
