Question

15 kilograms of rice are separated equally into 4 containers. How many kilograms of rice are in each container? Express your answer as a decimal and as a fraction.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is $\frac{15}{4}$ kilograms in fraction and 3.75 kilograms in decimals.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to separate 15 kilograms of rice equally into 4 containers.

Amount of rice distributed in each container is given by the total amount of rice available divided by the number of containers.

Therefore the amount of rice in each container is given by $\frac{15}{4}$ kilograms = 3.75 kilograms.

Thus the amount of rice in each container is given by $\frac{15}{4}$ kilograms ( in fraction) or 3.75 kilograms (in decimal).
