Answer:

The weight of the remaining rice is 102/7 (or 14.57)

Explanation:

Weight of 1st bag = 50/6 = 25/3

Weight of 2nd bag = 128/3

So,

Total weight = weight of 1st bag + weight of 2nd bag

Total weight = 25/3 + 128/3

Total weight = 153/3

Total weight = 51

If 5/7 of the total weight is sold, the remaining weight is then

1 - 5/7 = 2/7

2/7 of the total weight remains, which is,

2/7 of total weight = (2/7)(51) = 102/7

So, the weight of the remaining rice is 102/7
