There are 514 gram rice in each container.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount of rice = 6 kg

1 kg = 1000 g

6 kg = 6*1000 = 6000 g

Number of containers  = 10

Rice left = 860 g

Let,

x be the amount in each container.

Total amount of rice - Number of containers*Amount in each container = Amount of rice left

[tex]6000-10x=860\\6000-860=10x\\5140=10x\\10x=5140[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 10

[tex]\frac{10x}{10}=\frac{5140}{10}\\x=514[/tex]

There are 514 gram rice in each container.
