Answer

Total mass of 12 packets = 15 kg 600 g

= (15 × 1,000 + 600) g

= 15,600 g

Mass of each packet = Total massNumber of packets\dfrac{\text{Total mass}}{\text{Number of packets}}

= 15,600 g12\dfrac{15{,}600 \text{ g}}{12}

= 1,300 g

= (1 × 1,000 + 300) g

= 1 kg 300 g

Hence, the mass of each packet is 1 kg 300 g.
