Question

A bag contains 10 and half KG Rice. Two fifth of it was lost by a hole. How

much of it was lost?

​

Answer 1

Answer:

5 kilograms of flour was lost from the bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the bag contains 12 1/2 = 25/2 kg flour.

And two fifths of it was lost through a hole in the side. It means we need to find two fifths of the total flour to find how much lost.

25 /5

2/5

=5

Therefore, this amount was lost from the bag.

Hence, 5 kilograms of flour was lost from the bag.

Answer 2

Answer:

4.2 kg of rice was lost from the hole

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of rice in the bag = 10.5 kg

                                           = $10\frac{1}{2}$

                                           = 21/2

Amount lost = 2/5 of whole

                     = 2/5 x 21/2

                     = 42/10

                     = 4.2 kg

So, 4.2 kg of rice was lost from the hole of the bag.
