Question

. A cook buys six pumpkins. The mean mass of these pumpkins is 2,1 kg. The heaviest pumpkin, which has a mass of 3 kg, is used first. Calculate the mass of the remaining five pumpkins.​

Answer 1

9.6kg

Explanation:

If the mean mass is 2.1 we can count the mass of these six pumpkins

the total mass of the pumpkins divided by the quantity of them is equal 2.1

TO find the mass multiply 2.1 by the quantity of them (6)

2.1*6=12.6 - the summary weight of six pumpkins

12.6-3=9.6 - the remainder after using the heaviest pumpkin
