Mrs Yeo had 15 kg of sugar. After packing the sugar equally into 12 identical containers, she had 240 g of left over sugar. Find the capacity of each container in kilograms.

Answer 1

Mrs Yeo had 15000 g of sugar (since 15 kg = 15000 g).
After packing the sugar equally into 12 containers, she had 15000 - 240 = <<15000-240=14760>>14760 g of sugar left.
Therefore, each container has a capacity of 14760/12 = <<14760/12=1230>>1230 g of sugar.
Therefore, each container has a capacity of 1230/1000 = <<1230/1000=1.23>>1.23 kg. Answer: \boxed{1.23}.
