2.5 tons = 80000 oz
80000/4 = 20000
There would be 20000 4 oz golf balls.

Answer: The number of golf balls is 20000

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Mass of 1 golf ball = 4 oz

Mass of the sample of golf balls = 2.5 ton = 80000 oz (Conversion factor: 1 ton = 32000 oz)

To find the number of golf balls, we divide the total mass by mass of 1 golf ball, we get:


\text{Number of golf balls}=\frac{\text{Mass of the sample of golf balls}}{\text{Mass of 1 golf ball}}


\text{Number of golf balls}=(80000oz)/(4oz)=20000

Hence, the number of golf balls is 20000
