Sam packed 42kg of rice into one big bag and 6 small ones which are of the same size. the big bag contained 3/7 of the rice. how many kilograms of rice did each small bag contained?
if the big bag contained 3/7 of the rice, then the smaller bags contained 4/7. so the smaller bags contained : 4/7(42) = 168/7 = 24 kg.....and their are 6 small bags...so each bag contained : 24/6 = 4 kg per bag <==
