    If the bag is empty, the mass of the contents = 0.

    I would say that the answer wouldn't be 0. It is asking for the mass of THE BAG. Since the bag is empty it doesn't weight nothing. You have to figure out how much THE BAG weights itself. The wording is slightly weird.

    Yes, I would distribute the problem the same way. You are finding out how much the bag ways.

    The problem is wrong because it gives negative value. It should be 1/4 instead of 1/6
