A restaurant ordered 3 bags of flour. Each bag weighs 4 2/5 kg. The restaurant used 2 1/4 kg of flour and spilled 1/8 kg. How much flour was left? Express answer in kilograms and grams.
The total weight of the 3 bags of flour is 3 x 4 2/5 = <<3*4+2/5=14>>14 kg.
The total amount of flour used and spilled is 2 1/4 + 1/8 = 9/4 + 1/8 = 18/8 + 1/8 = 19/8 kg.
The total amount of flour left is 14 - 19/8 = 112/8 - 19/8 = <<112/8-19/8=93/8>>93/8 = 11 5/8 kg.
To express the answer in kilograms and grams. we will convert the fraction 5/8 to grams.
Since 1 kg is 1000 grams, then 5/8 kg is 5/8 x 1000 = 625 grams.
Therefore, the flour left is 11 kg 625 grams. Answer: \boxed{11\ \text{kg}\ 625\ \text{grams}}.
3 bags of flour = 4 2/5 kg x 3 = 12 6/5 kg
Total flour used = 2 1/4 kg + 1/8 kg = 2 5/8 kg
Remaining flour = 12 6/5 kg - 2 5/8 kg = 10 1/8 kg
10 1/8 kg = 10 kg + 825 g
Answer: 10 kg and 825 g
Apologies for the mistake in my previous response.
To calculate the remaining flour correctly, we will use the given information and perform the calculations again:
The total weight of the 3 bags of flour is 4 2/5 kg x 3 = 12 6/5 kg.
The total amount of flour used is 2 1/4 kg.
The amount of flour spilled is 1/8 kg.
To find the remaining flour, we need to subtract the total amount used and spilled from the total weight of the bags of flour:
12 6/5 kg - (2 1/4 kg + 1/8 kg)
First, let's find a common denominator for the fractions: 8
(12 kg x 8) + 6 - (2 kg x 8 + 2 + 1) / 5
(96 + 6 - 18 - 2 - 1) / 5
(96 - 18 - 3) / 5
75 / 5 = 15 kg
Therefore, the remaining flour is 15 kg.
To convert kg to grams, we multiply by 1000:
15 kg * 1000 = 15000 grams.
Answer: The remaining flour is 15 kg or 15000 grams.
A bag weighs 4 2/5 = 4.4 kg.
The restaurant used in total 2 1/4 + 1/8 = 2.375 kg.
The total amount of flour the restaurant ordered is 13.2 kg.
Therefore, the restaurant is left with 13.2 - 2.375 = 10.825 kg of flour.
In grams, 10.825 kg is equal to 10,825 grams.
So the answer is 10 kg 825 grams.
Again, apologies for the confusion earlier.
Let's go through the calculation step by step with the correction:
1. First, let's convert the bag weight from mixed fraction to decimal form.
A bag of flour weighs 4 2/5 kg, which is:
4 + (2/5) kg
= 4 + 0.4 kg
= 4.4 kg
2. The restaurant ordered 3 bags.
Total weight of flour = 3 bags × 4.4 kg/bag
= 13.2 kg
3. Next, let's convert the total flour used from mixed number and fractions to decimals.
The total flour used is 2 1/4 kg and 1/8 kg.
Convert 2 1/4 to decimal:
2 1/4 = 2 + (1/4)
= 2 + 0.25
= 2.25 kg
Convert 1/8 to decimal:
1/8 = 0.125 kg
Now add both amounts of used and spilled flour:
Total flour used = 2.25 kg + 0.125 kg
= 2.375 kg
4. Now, calculate the remaining flour.
Remaining flour = Total weight of flour - Total flour used
= 13.2 kg - 2.375 kg
= 10.825 kg
Let's convert 10.825 kg to kg and grams.
5. There are 1000 grams in a kilogram, so:
0.825 kg = 0.825 × 1000 grams
= 825 grams
So, the restaurant is left with 10 kg and 825 grams of flour.
Your final answer is correct. The restaurant has 10 kg 825 grams of flour remaining.
To find out how much flour is left, we need to subtract the flour used and spilled from the total amount ordered.
First, let's convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions for easier computation:
Bag weight = 4 2/5 kg
= (4 * 5 + 2) / 5
= 22/5 kg
Flour used = 2 1/4 kg
= (2 * 4 + 1) / 4
= 9/4 kg
Flour spilled = 1/8 kg
Now, let's calculate the remaining flour:
Total flour ordered = 3 * (22/5) kg
= 66/5 kg
Flour remaining = Total flour ordered - Flour used - Flour spilled
= 66/5 - 9/4 - 1/8
To subtract these fractions, we need a common denominator, which is 40.
Flour remaining = (66/5 * 8/8) - (9/4 * 10/10) - (1/8)
= (528/40) - (90/40) - (5/40)
Now we can combine the fractions:
Flour remaining = (528 - 90 - 5) / 40
= 433/40 kg
To get the answer in kilograms and grams, we can divide 433 by 40 and express the remainder as grams:
Flour remaining = 433/40 kg
= 10 kg with a remainder of 33 grams
Therefore, there are 10 kilograms and 33 grams of flour left.
