Answer 1

you just divide 4856 by 16 and get 303.5. Each one weighs 303.5 pounds

Answer 2

Given:
16 pallets with sacks of cement.
4856 lbs total weight of pallets and cement

Find weight of each pallet with cement.

Since the problem stated that each pallet weigh the same, we can simply divided the total weight by the total number of pallets.

4856 pounds ÷ 16 pallets = 303.50 pounds per pallet.

If kilograms is asked, then we divided the number of pounds by 2.20 lbs per kilo

303.50 lbs * 1kg/2.20lbs = 303.50kg/2.2 = 137.95 kilograms.
