Question

When this kettle is full of water it has a mass of 2900 grams. When the kettle is half full of water it has a mass of 2050 grams. What is the mass of the kettle when it is empty?

Answer 1

If you would like to know the mass of the kettle when it is empty, you can calculate this using the following steps:

2900 grams - 2050 grams = 850 grams (half of water)

2050 grams - 850 grams = 1200 grams (no water)

The correct result would be 1200 grams.
