Question

A box contains 4 bags of sugar. The total mass of all 4 bags is 6 kg. What is the mass of each bag in grams?

Answer 1

divide by 4 to get the mass of a single bag and then multiply by 1000 to get to grams from kilograms

6/4=1.5

1.5*1000=1500

therefore a single bag of sugar weighs 1500 grams

Answer 2

A box contains 4 bags of sugar. The total mass of all 4 bags is 6 kg. What is the mass of each bag in grams?

Explanation:

The 6 kg is 6000 grams, dividing by 4 which is the number of bags, gives us the weight in grams of each of them.

X = 6000/4 = 1500 grams each of the bags.
