Answer:

There are 6.525 kilograms per batch

Explanation:

We can use proportions to solve this problem

26.1 kilograms x kilograms

----------------------- = ---------------------

4 batches 1 batch

Using cross products

26.1 * 1 = 4 * x

Divide each side by 4

26.1 /4 = 4x/4

6.525 kilograms = x

There are 6.525 kilograms per batch
