Question

60kg of rice must be put into three equal bags. what weight of rice must be put into each bag?

​

Answer 1

20kg of rice in each bag

Explanation:

we have 60kg of rice and 3 bags. we know that we need to have an eqal amount of rice in each bag so we can divide the 60kgs of rice by 3.

60÷3=20

Checking our Answer:

we can check our work by doing the opposite of division which is multiplication. to check our work we'd have to multiply the dividend (in our case 3) and our quotient (in our case 20) to see if we get the larger dividend (in our case 60) as our answer.

3×20=60
