Question

Fiona had 3 kg of spinach.1/2 kg of spinach was sold to Mrs Simon and the rest were packed equally into 3 bags. Find the mass of each bag of spinach.

Answer 1

Each bag of spinach weighs 0.833 kg or approximately 833 grams

Explanation:

Fiona had 3 kg of spinach. She sold 1/2 kg of spinach to Mrs. Simon, which leaves her with:

3 kg - 1/2 kg = 2.5 kg

Fiona packed the remaining 2.5 kg of spinach equally into 3 bags. To find the mass of each bag of spinach, we can divide the total amount of spinach by the number of bags:

2.5 kg ÷ 3 = 0.833 kg

therefore, Each bag of spinach weighs 0.833 kg or approximately 833 grams
