    9Kg, 18Kg and 63 Kg

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Sum the parts of the ratio, 1 + 2 + 7 = 10 parts

    Divide the weight of sand by 10 to find the value of one part of the ratio

    90 Kg : 10 = 9 Kg ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus

    2 parts = 2 * 9 Kg = 18 Kg

    7 parts = 7 * 9 Kg = 63 Kg

    Thus the weights of each bag are 9 Kg, 18 Kg and 63 Kg
