Question

The total mass of 8 cereal boxes is 4 kilograms. What is the mass of each box of cereal in grams?

Answer 1

Answer:

The mass of each cereal box is 500 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that

1 K=1,000 g

we know that

The total mass of 8 cereal boxes is 4 kilograms

4 k=4*1,000=4,000 g

therefore

The total mass of 8 cereal boxes is 4,000 grams

To find the mass of each box, divide the total mass by eight

so

$\frac{4,000}{8}=500\ g$
