To find the mass of flour that Johnson's mother kept, we need to divide the total amount of flour by the number of bags she used.
Step 1: Divide the total amount of flour by the number of bags.
25 kg รท 8 bags = 3.125 kg
So, the mass of flour that Johnson's mother kept is 3.125 kg.
In mixed number form, 3.125 kg can be written as 3 kg and 125/1000 kg.
Simplifying the fraction, we have:
3 kg + 125/1000 kg
= 3 kg + 1/8 kg
Therefore, the mass of flour she kept is 3 1/8 kg.
