If 5 identical components weigh 20 kg, what is the weight of one component?
4 kg
The five components are identical, so the total weight is shared equally among them.
Weight of one component \(=\dfrac{20\ \text{kg}}{5}=4\ \text{kg}\).
As a check, \(5\times4=20\ \text{kg}\), matching the total.
Hence, the answer is 4 kg.
