Answer: One book has a greater mass.
Explanation:
Jamal has a pair of shoes with a total mass of 960 grams. This means that each shoe has a mass of:
960 grams ÷ 2= 480 grams per shoe.
Jamal also has four identical books with a total mass of 2 kilograms. Note that 1000 grams make a kilograms. Therefore 2 kilograms will be (2 × 1000 grams) = 2000 grams.
Each book will have a mass of:
2000 ÷ 4 = 500 grams per book.
One shoe has a mass of 960 divided 2 = 480 grams . One book has a mass of 2000 divided 4 = 500 grams . So one book has a greater mass.
