Answer:

4000grams in each bag

Explanation:

Assume he put x amount of clay into each bag, he then put 6x into 6 bags.(since the question didn’t mention, I assume he put every clay he has into the bags)

6x=24kg

x=4kg

Since the question is asking for grams not kilograms:

4kg=4000g

So you do 24 kg divided by six which is 4 so there is 4kg of clay in each bag
