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

20kg of rice in each bag

Step-by-step 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

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

14.3

step-by-step explanation:

add all the numbers together.

9 + 12 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 17 = 86

now, divide 86 by how many numbers we have: 6.

86 / 6 = 14.3
