Answer 1

Answer: The total number of colored papers is 18.

Explanation:

Given: The ratio of coloured papers to wight papers is 3:8.

Let total number of colored papers = 3x

and total number of wight papers = 8x

Since, there are 48 wight papers , then

`8x=48`

`\Rightarrow\ x=6`

Now , number of colored papers = 3(6)=18

Hence, the total number of colored papers is 18.
