Question

A box of oranges has a mass of 4 kg. If one orange is 80 g, how many oranges are in the box?

Answer 1

Total mass of box = 4 kg or 4000 grams

Number of oranges= 4000/80

= 50 oranges

Answer 2

50 oranges are in the box

Explanation:

First, find the converting of 1 kg to grams (1kg = 1000g)

Then, convert how many kg is the box of oranges (4kg = 4000g)

Finally, divide the total grams of the box by the total grams per EACH orange in the box (4000g ÷ 80g = 50)

Therefore, there are 50 oranges in the box
