Answer:514 grams of rice is in each of the 10 containers

Explanation:

Amount of rice bought =6 kilograms of rice.

6 kilograms =6000grams

Amount of rice reaming after filling 10 containers =860g

Amount used to fill up the containers ==6000grams-860grams =5140 grams

To get the amount filled inside the 10 containers since same amount is in each, we divide by 10

5140 grams/10=514 grams
