The total mass of 8 packets, each of the same size, is 10 kg 600 g. What is the mass of each such packet ?

Answer

To find the mass of each packet, we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Convert the total mass from kilograms and grams to grams.
The total mass is given as 10 kg 600 g. We know that:
1 kg = 1000 g

So, we convert 10 kg to grams:
\[ 10 \text{ kg} = 10 \times 1000 \text{ g} = 10000 \text{ g} \]

Now, we add the 600 g:
\[ \text{Total mass in grams} = 10000 \text{ g} + 600 \text{ g} = 10600 \text{ g} \]

### Step 2: Divide the total mass by the number of packets.
We have 8 packets, and we need to find the mass of one packet. Therefore, we divide the total mass by the number of packets:
\[ \text{Mass of one packet} = \frac{10600 \text{ g}}{8} \]

### Step 3: Perform the division.
Now, we will perform the division:
1. 8 goes into 10 once (1), leaving a remainder of 2.
2. Bring down the 6, making it 26. 8 goes into 26 three times (3), leaving a remainder of 2.
3. Bring down the 0, making it 20. 8 goes into 20 two times (2), leaving a remainder of 4.
4. Bring down the last 0, making it 40. 8 goes into 40 five times (5), leaving no remainder.

So, we have:
\[ \frac{10600 \text{ g}}{8} = 1325 \text{ g} \]

### Step 4: Convert the mass of one packet back to kilograms and grams.
Now, we convert 1325 g back to kg and g:
- 1 kg = 1000 g, so:
\[ 1325 \text{ g} = 1 \text{ kg} + 325 \text{ g} \]

### Final Answer:
The mass of each packet is **1 kg 325 g**.
