Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

64lb = 4 boxes

7*4= 28

64-28=36

Each bag of rice weighs 9 pounds

The weight of each bag of rice will be 9 pounds.

From the information given, we are told that each package weighs 64 pounds and that each package contains 4 boxes.

The equation to represent the situation will be:

= [64 - (4 × 7)] / 4

= (64 - 28) / 4

= 36/4

= 9

Therefore, the bags of rice with 9 pounds each.
