Answer:

Each family got about 64 Kg of rice.

Given:

15 families in a society together bought 12 sacks of rice weighing 80 kg each.  

To find:

How much rice did each family get?

Solution:

Total number of families = 15

Total number of rice sacks = 12

Weight of one sack = 80 Kg

Weight of 12 sacks = 12 $\times$80 = 960 Kg

The rice shared by each family =$\frac{960}{15}$ =64 Kg

Result:

Each family got about 64 Kg of rice.
