Dear student
 
number of packets = total weight / weight of one packet =
\frac{7/9}{14/63} = \frac{7* 63}{9*14} = \frac{49}{14} = 3.5\frac{7/9}{14/63} = \frac{7* 63}{9*14} = \frac{49}{14} = 3.5 = 4 packets
 
Hope it helps

Hello Dakshi,
 
A shopkeeper bought potatoes=7/9 kg
Each packet containing potatoes=14/63 kg
Packets of potatoes he made=(7/9)/(14/63)
          =(7×63)/(9×14) 
          =7/2
          =3.5 =4
Since Packet is always full.
Hence packets made are 4.
 
I hope it helps you.
