Final answer:
To find the weight of each bag, divide the total weight of the rice by the number of bags, resulting in each bag weighing 10.5 kg.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find out the weight of each bag, we need to divide the total weight of the rice by the number of bags.
To find out how much each bag weighs, we need to divide the total weight of the rice by the number of bags, since each bag weighs an equal amount. We are given that there are 367.5 kg of rice in 35 bags.
Let's do the calculation:
Divide the total weight (367.5 kg) by the number of bags (35).
367.5 kg ÷ 35 = 10.5 kg. So, each bag weighs 10.5 kg.
This result is considered to be accurate to three significant figures because the original weight is given to three decimal places (one of which is zero), and the number of bags is an exact value and does not affect the significant figures of the calculation.
Given that 367.5 kg of rice is contained in 35 bags, we can calculate the weight of each bag as follows:
Weight of each bag = Total weight of rice / Number of bags
Weight of each bag = 367.5 kg / 35 bags
Weight of each bag = 10.5 kg
Therefore, each bag weighs 10.5 kg.
