Question

One container has 28 kg of flour and another has 4 kilograms how many kilograms must be taken from one container so that each have equal amounts

Answer 1

Answer: 24 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : One container has 28 kg of flour and another has 4 kilograms .

i.e. the quantity of flour in container one = 28 kg

The quantity of flour in another container = 4 kg

It is clear that the one container has the greater quantity of flour than the another.

[ since 28 > 4 ]

Now, the quantity of flour that must be taken from one container so that each have equal amounts =$28-4=24\ kg$

Hence, the quantity of flour that must be taken from one container so that each have equal amounts = 24 kg

Answer 2

$28 + 4 = 32 \\ 32 \div 2 = 16 \\ 28 - 16 = 12$
Answer: 12kg must be taken from one container.

Hope this helps.
