Question

Two grains weighing 100kg 250 g and 150kg 250g are mixed and packed equally in 15 bags. Find the weight of each bag.

a.16.8 kg (b) 16.7 kg (c) 17 kg (d) 20 kg

Answer 1

(B) 16.7 kg

Explanation:

First, start by converting everything to kilograms (using unit converters):

`250g((10^(-3)kg)/(1g))=250*10^(-3)kg=0.25kg`

Then, add all the weights together:

`100kg+0.25kg+150kg+0.25g=250kg+0.5kg=250.5kg`

Now, divide this number by 15 (since they are packed in 15 bags):

`(250.5kg)/(15)=16.7 kg`

(B) 16.7 kg
