Question

A box contains $4$ bags of sugar.

The total mass of all $4$ bags is $6\text{kg}$.

What is the mass of each bag in grams?

Answer 1

Find the mass of each bag in grams:

It is given that the total bags of sugar is $4$ and the total mass is $6\text{kg}$.

Find the mass of one beg dividing the total mass by the total number of bags:

$\begin{array}{rcl}\text{Mass of}1\text{bag}& =& \frac{\text{Total mass}}{\text{Total bags}}\\ & =& \frac{6}{4}\\ & =& 1.5\text{kg}\end{array}$

Thus, the mass of the$1$ bag is $1.5\text{kg}$.

Convert mass from $kg$ to grams by multiplying $1.5$ by $1000$:

$1.5\times 1000=1500\text{gm}\left[1\text{kg}=1000\text{gram}\right]$.

Therefore, the mass of each sugar bag is $1500\text{gm}$.
