Answer:
72,000kg
Step-by-step explanation:
So, we know that there are 640 bags.
Each bag has a mass of 120kg.
The mass shrinks at a ration of 15:16
So, we can think of the total mass as 120x640:
120*640
=
76,800kg
Next, we can think of the dried mass as 15/16 of the 76,800kg. This is because the dried ration was 15, and the orgninal ration was 16:
76,800/16
=
4,800kg
This isnt our end answer, next we have to multiply this by 15, to find the dried ration:
4,800*15
=
72,000kg
Hope this helps!
