There are a couple of steps involved in solving this problem:
1. Convert the weight of the full sack of rice from kg to g: 5 kg = 5000 g.
2. Divide the weight of the full sack by the weight of each bag to find the number of bags: 5000 g รท 350 g/bag = 14.29 bags.
Since Polly can't fill a fraction of a bag, we need to round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Polly filled 14 bags from the 5 kg sack of rice.
Polly has a full 5 kg sack of rice.
She pours the rice from this sack into bags.
She fills as many bags as possible.
Each full bag contains 350 g of rice.
How many bags did Polly fill from this sack of rice?
