you want to end upwith 2 pots each with 4 kg
Here is one way:
1. Fill the 3kg pot from the 8 kg bag; yhe 3kg pot has 3 kg in it and the bag is left with 5 kg
2. Pour the 3 kg pot into the 5kg pot and it now has zero, the 5kg pot has 3 kg
3.Pour the 5kg from the bag into the 3 kg pot. Thereis now 2 kg in the bag , 3 kg in the 3 kg pot, and still 3kg in the 5 kg pot.
4. Pour the 3 kg from the 3 kg pot into the 5 kg pot until full. Now there is 1 kg in the 3 kg pot, 5 kg in the 5 kg pot, still 2 kg in the bag of rice
5. Pour the 5 kg fromthe 5 kg pot into the bag and then the 1 kg from the 3 kg pot into the 5 kg pot. Now the bag has 7 kg, the 5 kg pot has 1 kg and the 3 kg pot has zero
6. Fillthe 3 kg pot from the 7 kg bag; the bag has 4 kg now, the 5 kg pot has 1 kg and the 3 kg pot has 3 kg
7. Pour the 3 kg from the 3 kg pot into the 5 kg pot; the 5 kg pot now has 4 kg in it and the bag also has 4 kg in it
That's it - there has to be an easier way?

Why a line segment has only one midpoint but can have many bisectors?
All bisectors intersect the line segment at the midpoint. There can be multiple bisectors, intersecting at the midpoint at different angles, but they all intersect the line segment at its midpoint. The midpoint separates the line segment into two equal halves.
How do you solve an inequality with fractions and variables on both sides?
You solve an inequality the same way you solve an equality. You add and subtract, multiply and divide, both sides by the same value in order to isolate one of the variables. The only extra thing you need to remember is that if you multiply or divide by a negative number, you must reverse the order of the inequality, i.e. less than or equal becomes greater than or equal.
Can the LCM and the GCF of two numbers be equal?
