Answer:

Weekly Mean Number of 50-kg bags =10.8 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

In Week 1, Kim uses 7  50kg bags of flour

In Week 2, Kim uses 14  50kg bags of flour

In Week 3, Kim uses 8 X 50kg bags of flour

In Week 4, Kim uses 13 X 50kg bags of flour

In Week 5, Kim will make 2400 loaves.

Each of these loaves will need 250g of flour.

Total Mass of flour that will be used =2400 X 250=600,000 grams

[tex]600,000$ grams=600,000 \div 1000$ kg =600kg\\Number of 50-kg bags =600 \div$ 50 =12 bags[/tex]

In Week 5, Kim will use 12 bags.

Therefore:

Weekly Mean number of 50kg bags of flour used in these 5 weeks.

[tex]=\dfrac{7+14+8+13+12}{5}\\\\ =\dfrac{54}{5}\\\\=10.8 \\ \approx 11$ bags[/tex]
