To calculate the total mass of the box in grams, we need to first calculate the total mass of the 4 bags of sugar in kilograms, and then convert that to grams.

The mass of one bag of sugar is 6 kilograms.

The total mass of all 4 bags is:

4 bags x 6 kilograms/bag = 24 kilograms

To convert 24 kilograms to grams, we multiply by the conversion factor of 1000 grams/kilogram:

24 kilograms x 1000 grams/kilogram = 24,000 grams

Therefore, the total mass of the box, including all 4 bags of sugar, is 24,000 grams.

The correct answer is B) 24,000 grams.

Answer: 24000 g

Explanation:

multiply together:

4 bags * 6 kg = 24 kg total

convert:

1 kg = 1000 g

24 kg * (1000 g / 1 kg) = 24000 g
