Weight of half full beaker is: 100+(160-100)/2

weight of full beaker = 160g weight of beaker = 100g (i e) weight of water =160-100 = 60g weight of half water = 60/2 = 30g now wight of beaker + weight of half water (i e) 100 + 30 = 130g

Full = 160

Empty = 100

Half = 60/2 = 30

Half is 130 of sum of 160 and 100. Not 30

full beaker=160 and empty=100, it mean that water quantity in full beaker =60g, half full beaker=100+(60/2)=100+30=130g

Full beaker = 160 g Empty = 100 g so liquid content is = 60 g and half = 30 g

Weight of empty beaker is 100g.weight of water is 160-100=60g.Because beaker is half filled so,weight is 100+(60/2)=130g

160+100/2=130

full = 100g half full = 100 + {(160-100)/2)

beaker + water = 160 g only beaker = 100 g so, the weight of only water = 160 - 100 = 60g then half full beaker of water = weight of beaker + 1/2 weight of water = 100 g + 30 g =130g

100 + 1/2(60) = 130

weight of beaker is 100g weight of water is 60g i.e. 160-100 weight of half of water is 30g weight of beaker that is falf full of water is (weight of only beaker+weight of half of water)=100+30 130g

weight of water = 160 - 100 = 60

weight of half full of water = 60 : 2 = 30

so, the weight of beaker is 100 + 30 = 130

160-100=60 g ( water)

60/2=30 g ( half of water)

30+100=130g ( beaker+half of water)

The wt. of only water is 160g-100g=60g. half of water wt. =30g so wt. of beaker that is full of water =100+30=130g

when a beaker that is empty of water is weighing 100g and the weight of the beaker that is full of water is weighing 160g therefore water full weight is 60g, to make the beaker full hence water half weight is 30g.

weight of beaker with water=160g weight of beaker without water=100g weight of water=160-100=60g

weight of beaker when half filled=100+(60/2)=100+30=130g

I took only the water weight 60 g divided by 2 which is equal to 30 g and i add the 30 g to the cup weight which 100 g the final answer of weight of a beaker that is half full of water is 130 g .

The weight of the water = 160-100= 60 g. So, therefore, half the weight of the water = 60/2 = 30 g. the weight of the beaker with half the water = 100 + 30 = 130 g.

weight of water=160-100=60 weight of half vol of water=60/2=30 weight of beaker half filled with water=100+30=130

The weight of water = 160 - 100 = 60 g. Half the weight of this water = 60 ÷ 2 = 30 g. The weight of the breaker that is half full of water = The weight of a breaker + Half the weight of the water = 100 + 30 = 130 g.

with water beaker's weight 160g and without water it is 100g. So we can say that water into the beaker weights 60g. If the beaker half full of water water weights 30g. So the total weight will be 130g. Here 100g weight come from the beaker and the rest from water.

160g (weight of the beaker with full water) - 100g (weight of the beaker with empty water) = 60g (full water inside the beaker)

60g /2 = 30g (half water inside the beaker)

100g+30g = 130g (weight of the beaker that is half of water)

full beaker = 160g empty beaker = 100g full - empty = weight of water half of water = 160 - 100 = 60/2 = 30 beaker with half full of water = 100 + 30 = 130g

Weight of water in Beaker when it's full is 60 g Weight of water in Beaker when it's half is 60 /2 =30g and Weight of Beaker=100g Weight of Beaker when it's half=weight of beaker+half water weight =130g

empty beaker's weight is 100 and full of water in the beaker measure 16o..then the weight of water is (160-100)=60....if the full water weights 60 then half water weight is 30....and the ans is 100+30=130

weight of full water in the beaker=160-100=60 weight of half water in the beaker=60/2=30 weight of empty beaker=100 thus,weight of a beaker that is half full of water=weight of full water in the beaker+weight of half water in the beaker =100 + 30=130

the weight of a beaker is = 160 g when it is empty then = 100 g so, water weight = ( 160 - 100) g = 60 g weight of half water = 60/2 = 30 g so, the weight of a beaker that is half full of water is = (30 + 100 ) g = 130g

The weight of a beaker that is full of water is 160g. The weight of a beaker that is empty is 100g. therefore, weight of water = 60g so, half of that weight =30g therefore,weight of a beaker that is half full of water=100+30=130

total weight of beaker with water=160, total weight of beaker only=100, hence weight of water=60, half weight of water=30, 100+30=130
