A canvas shopping bag has a mass of 600 grams.
When 5 cans of equal mass are put into the bag, the filled bag has a mass of 4 kilograms.
What is the mass of each can in grams?

1 answer

First, we need to find the mass of the cans alone. We can do this by subtracting the mass of the empty shopping bag from the mass of the filled bag with cans:

4 kilograms - 0.6 kilograms = 3.4 kilograms

Now we can divide the total mass of the cans by the number of cans to find the mass of each can:

3.4 kilograms รท 5 = 0.68 kilograms

Finally, we need to convert kilograms to grams:

0.68 kilograms = 680 grams

Therefore, each can has a mass of 680 grams.
