    Not sure what a tape diagram is but i can solve and explain for you ...

    weight in total = 6.83 + 3.57 = 10.4 lb

    x = weight for one bag

    6x = weight for all 6 bags

    Then form an equation that will allow you to work out x

    6x + 0.35 = 10.4

    subtract 0.35 from both sides

    6x = 10.05

    then divide both sides by 6 to get x on its own

    x = 1.675

    one bag weighs 1.675 lb
