Question

1. A baker had 10 sacks containing the following amounts of flour:
4 ½ kg, 3 ¼ kg, 2 ½ kg, 2 ½ kg, 4kg,
3 ¼ kg, 4 ¼ kg, 5kg, 2 ½ kg, 3 ¼ kg

2. If the baker redistributed the flour equally among the ten bags, how much flour would be in each bag?

Answers

Just add them up, then divide by 10.
That would be just like finding the average.
Hint: change them to decimals, they all come out nice that way, simpler to add them that way
e.g. 4 ¼ kg = 4.25 kg

Except when he takes a dip.
He looks like a fool,
when he jumps in the pool,
and reminds me of a sinking ship.
