In this problem-solving exercise, we explore the weight of a chain that measures 14 metres in length based on the known weight of a 32-metre chain. The weight of the longer chain is 5.12 kg. By establishing the multiplier, we can determine the weight of the shorter chain. This task teaches students how to apply proportions in real-world scenarios, enhancing their mathematical reasoning skills while reinforcing their understanding of ratios and multiplication.
