Solution

Let x be the number of sheets in the paper bundle of 5 kg.
Weight (in g) Sheets of paper
40 12
5000 x

Sheets of paper and it's weight are in direct variation.
So, using arrow method:
500040=x12
On cross multiplication,
x = 500040×12 = 1500
So, the number of sheets in the paper bundle is 1500.
