Question

The mass of 40 apples in a box is 10 kg.
A) Find the mass of a dozen of them
B) Express the mass of one apple in gram

Answer 1

The weight of an apple is depends on its size, amount of nutrients and spices.

However the average weight of an apple is between 70 to 100 grams or 0.33 pound.

So mass of the apples stored in the 10 Kg box can be 3Kg because if we presume 40 Kg apples=10 Kg then 10000/40=250 Grams.

So it means one apple=250gm mass.

Answer 2

Mass of one apple=250gram...40×250=10000gram=10kg

One dozen=12×250g=3kg
