Answer:

3.6 kg

Explanation:

A meat packer has 180 kilograms of ground meat. He will divide it equally into 50 packages. How much will each package weigh??

Since he is dividing equally, we have:

50 packages = 180 kg

1 package = x kg

Cross Multiply

x kg × 50 packages= 180kg × 1 packages

x kg = 180 kg × 1/50 packages

x kg = 3.6 kg

Hence, 1 package would weigh 3.6 kg(kilograms)
