Question

A shopkeeper bought 775 kg of wheat . He wants to divide all the wheat into 8 bags of the same size. How much Wheat Can he store in 1 bag? How much will be left?

Answer 1

In order to calculate how much wheat will be stored in each bag, let's divide the total amount of wheat by the number of bags:

$\frac{775}{8}=96.875$

Assuming that the amount of wheat each bag can hold is a whole number, so each bag can hold 96 kg (otherwise, each bag would hold 96.875 kg and there would be no wheat left).

Then, to find how much wheat will be left, let's calculate how much the 8 bags will hold, and then we subtract this value from the total:

$\begin{gathered} 96\cdot8=768 \\ \\ 775-768=7 \end{gathered}$

So there will be 7 kg left.
