`10 (1)/(2)` kilograms of sugar is to be packed in `(2)/(5)` kilogram bags. How many bags. do we need? What is the weight of the remaining sugar?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`10 (1)/(2) div (2)/(5)=(21)/(2) div (2)/(5)=(21)/(2) xx (5)/(2)`
`=(105)/(4)=26 (1)/(4)`
Number of bags `=26=2`Remaining sugar `=10^(-1) (1)/(2)-26 xx (2)/(5)=(21)/(2)-(52)/(5)`
`=(105)/(10)-(104)/(10)=(1)/(10)` kilogram
