Question

28 bags of rice weight 2772kg. Eastimate the weight of 1 bag of rice​

Answer 1

Answer:

If 5 bags of rice weigh 150 kg, how many such bags of rice will weigh 900 kg?

Ok Joey, here we go…

5 bags weigh 150 kg total.

Now to find the weight of 1 bag we apply the unitary method. i.e. divide the total weight by the no. of bags.

150/5 = 3kg.

This gives us the weight bag of 1 bag to be 3 kg.

Now, we need to find how many bags weigh 900 kg.

Assume rhe no. of bags are ‘x’.

We have weight of 1 bag = 3kg.

It means 3x = 900kg.

Now find x by dividing 900 by 3.

It will give the answer as 30
