Answer 1

The appropriate form for this problem is:

(Amount of Type A per bag) + (Amount of Type B per bag) = Total weight per bag

Using the given information, we can fill in the blanks:

(3 kg) + (___ kg) = (36 kg) ÷ (4 bags)

Simplifying the right side:

(36 kg) ÷ (4 bags) = 9 kg/bag

Substituting back into the equation:

3 kg + (___ kg) = 9 kg/bag

Solving for the blank:

___ kg = 9 kg/bag - 3 kg

___ kg = 6 kg/bag

Therefore, there are 6 kilograms of type B in one bag of the blend.
