Okay so what you do is as follows:


625/5 = 125.


Therefore 125 pallets are needed for 625 bags.

calculista

we know that

Each pallet holds \(5\) bags

so

by proportion

Find the number of pallets needed for  \(625\) bags of cement

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

therefore

the answer is

\(125\ pallets\)
