Answer 1

Answer:

Answer is 1.86 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Total sugar = 9.75 kg

Sugar left = 0.45 kg

Sugar poured into jars = Total sugar  -  sugar left

                                          9.75 - 0.45 = 9.30

then ,

        Sugar pored into 1 jar = 9.30/5 = 1.86

     

Hence, sugar poured in each jar is 1.86 kg .

Answer 2

Answer:

1.86kg

Step-by-step explanation:

total quantity of sugar=9.75kg

sugar left after pouring in jars=0.45kg

total sugars present in the jars=(9.75-0.45)kg=9.3kg

so, sugar in each jar=9.3/5=1.86kg
