Question

The Bensonville Police Department confiscated 10 5/7 kg of cocaine from a drug bust. If the cocaine was found in 25 sealed, plastic bags, how many kilograms of cocaine was in each bag bags

Answer 1

To find out how many kilograms of cocaine were in each of the 25 bags, we need to divide the total amount of cocaine (10 5/7 kg) by the number of bags.

To perform this division, we first convert the mixed number 10 5/7 to an improper fraction:

10 5/7 = (10 x 7 + 5)/7 = 75/7 kg

Then we divide the improper fraction by the number of bags:

75/7 kg / 25 bags = 3 kg/bag

Each bag of the 25 bags contains 3 kg of cocaine.
