Respuesta :

Answer:

4kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr Sharma packed 42 kg of tea into one big bag and sox small bags each of the same size

The first step is to calculate the quantity in the big bag

= 3/7 × 42

= 3×6

= 18

The amount left in the remaining bags is

= 42-18

= 24

Therefore the kg of tea in the small bags can be calculated as follows

= 24/6

= 4

Hence there are 4kg of tea in the small bags
