A remote village on an island was devastated by a typhoon. Farmland was flooded and the crops
were killed by excess salt from the ocean. To prevent starvation, aid workers delivered containers of
dried foods such as rice, beans, and raisins to the island. Each container holds 82 kilograms (kg) of
food: 36 kg of rice, 28 kg of beans, and 18 kg of raisins.
