Problem

The plot below shows the mass of 5 bags of apples.
A line plot labeled mass of apple bags in kilograms shows, moving left to right, labeled tick marks at two, two and one-half, three, three and one-half, four, four and one-half, five, five and one-half, and six. Dots are plotted as follows: 1 dot above two and one-half; 2 dots above three and one-half; 1 dot above five, and 1 dot above five and one-half.
If we rearranged the apples so that each bag contained an equal mass, what would the mass of each bag be?
All measurements are rounded to the nearest 12 kilogram.
