Question

If the baker doubles the number of kilograms of oats again, and they are poured equally into 3 bags, what is the weight of each bag of oats?

a) 1/6 of the total weight
b) 1/4 of the total weight
c) 1/3 of the total weight
d) 1/2 of the total weight

Answer 1

To find the weight of each bag of oats, divide the total weight of the oats by the number of bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the weight of each bag of oats, we first need to determine the total weight of the oats. Since the baker doubles the number of kilograms of oats, if the original weight is 'x' kilograms, the new weight will be 2 times 'x' kilograms, or 2x kilograms.

Next, we divide the total weight of the oats (2x kilograms) equally into 3 bags. Since the weight is divided equally, we divide 2x by 3 to find the weight of each bag. Therefore, each bag of oats will weigh (2x/3) kilograms.

So, the answer is option a) 1/6 of the total weight.
