Question

I have 10 bags of potatoes each containing 15 kg of potatoes. I want to make 50 small bags of potatoes each of the same mass . what mass of potatoes does I have to put in each bag​

Answer 1

Explanation:

You have to count the total weight of potatoes: 10 bags x 15 kg (each bag) = 150 kg. Now, you divide the total weight by the number of bags you want to make: 150 (total weight)/50(# of bags) = 3 kg per bag. So you have to put 3 kg of potatoes in each bag.

Answer 2

Explanation:

according to the given question

there are 10 bags each have 15kg potatoes so basically, we have 150 kg of poatoes

i want these potatoes to be equally distributed in 50 bags

therefore, mass of potato in 1 bag = total kg's of potatoes÷nuber of bags

mass of potato in 1 bag=150÷50 equals 3 kg

and so, each bag will have mass 3 kg
