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
