Question

Shreya had $480kg$ of rice. She poured $\frac{3}{8}$ of it into a rice container and packed $\frac{3}{5}$ of the remainder into $6$ bags. How much rice was there in each bag?

• A. $40kg$
• B. $20kg$
• C. $30kg$
• D. $50kg$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $30kg$

Total quantity of rice Shreya has $=480kg$
Quantity of rice poured into container $=\frac{3}{8}\times 480=180kg$
$\therefore$ Quantity of rice left $=480-180$
$=300kg$
So, quantity of rice to be packed in bags
$=\frac{3}{5}\times 300=180kg$
Number of bags $=6$
$\therefore$ Quantity of rice in each bag
$=180÷6=30kg$.
