everything she is packing is 9.8 kg.
She packs everything into a bag that has a
mass when empty of 620 g.
What is the total mass of the bag and its
contents?
Give your answer in kg

Answer 1

the total mass of the bag and its contents is 10.42 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to convert the mass of the bag when empty from grams to kilograms:

620 g = 0.62 kg

Next, we can add the mass of the bag when empty to the mass of everything Kayla is packing:

total mass = 9.8 kg + 0.62 kg = 10.42 kg

Therefore, the total mass of the bag and its contents is 10.42 kg.
