Question

Pls Help,

If 5 potatoes together have a Massof 1 kilogram and 8 Pears together have a Massachusetts of 1, 200 grams, which as the greater mass, a potato or a Pears? Explain.

Answer 1

Potato

Explanation:

1 kg = 1000 g

Assuming the potatoes have the same mass, and the pears have the same mass, then the mass of each potato is:

1000 g / 5 = 200 g

And the mass of each pear is:

1200 g / 8 = 150 g

So a potato has more mass than a pear.
