Question

If you have the following data about bag of chocolate chips, about how many chocolate chips are estimated to be in the bag?

Mass of Chocolate Chips + Bag= 2041 grams
Mass of 100 Chocolate Chips= 31 grams
Mass of Bag ONLY= 67 grams

How many chocolate chips are in the bag? Round answer by using significant figures.

Answer 1

6,368 chocolate

Explanation:

First, we need to find the mass of chocolate chips in the bag:

Mass of Chocolate Chips=Mass of Chocolate Chips + Bag - Mass of Bag ONLY

Mass of Chocolate Chips = 2041 g - 67 g

Mass of Chocolate Chips = 1974 g

Next, we need to use the given information to estimate the number of chocolate chips in the bag:

31 grams of chocolate chips = 100 chips

1 gram of chocolate chips = 100/31 chips

Using this conversion factor, we can find the estimated number of chocolate chips in the bag:

1974 g of chocolate chips = (100/31) x 1974 chips

1974 g of chocolate chips ≈ 6,368 chips (rounded to four significant figures)

Therefore, it is estimated that there are about 6,368 chocolate chips in the bag.
