Answer 1

50 bags of sugar

Explanation:

There are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram

We know each shelf can hold up to 30 kilograms and we know each bag of sugar weighs 600 grams.

We multiply 30 kilograms (kg) by 1000 to make it equal to grams so:

30 kg x 1000 = 30,000 grams

We should divide 30,000 by 600 to know how many bags each shelf can hold

30,000/600 = 50 bags of sugar
