    Arrcoding to the question, we have the ratio of the salt and fresh water in Protaras is 7:193

    => The ratio of the salt and the sea water = 7:(193+7) = 7:200

    First, we exchange: 1000hg=100kg1000hg=100kg (sea water).

    Because the ratio of the salt and sea water is 7:200

    => 7kg7kg salt are in 200kg200kg sea water.

    200kg200kg sea water are more than 100kg100kg sea water: 200:100=2(times)200:100=2(times)

    In 100kg100kg sea water there is: 7:2=3,5(kg)7:2=3,5(kg) salt.

    (This question has no answer because there is no 3,5 kg salt.

    If there is an answer, you must change 1000hg1000hg sea water -> 1000kg1000kg sea water or change the questions into: How many hectograms of salt are there in 1000hg of sea water)

    The question must be changed from 1000 hg to 1000 kg or 10000 kg

    The weigh of salt in 100 kg of sea water is :

    1000 : (7 + 193) x 7 = 35 (kg) or 10000 : (7 + 193) x 7 = 350 (kg)

    So,the answer depends on how you correct the question (A or E)

    Arrcoding to the question, we have the ratio of the salt and fresh water in Protaras is 7:193

    => The ratio of the salt and the sea water = 7:(193+7) = 7:200

    First, we exchange: \(1000hg=100kg\) (sea water).

    Because the ratio of the salt and sea water is 7:200

    => \(7kg\) salt are in \(200kg\) sea water.

    \(200kg\) sea water are more than \(100kg\) sea water: \(200:100=2\left(times\right)\)

    In \(100kg\) sea water there is: \(7:2=3,5\left(kg\right)\) salt.

    (This question has no answer because there is no 3,5 kg salt.

    If there is an answer, you must change \(1000hg\) sea water -> \(1000kg\) sea water or change the questions into: How many hectograms of salt are there in 1000hg of sea water)
