The mass of an individual apple can vary widely depending on its size and variety, but a typical medium-sized apple weighs around 150 to 200 grams.
To estimate how many apples will have a total mass of 1 kg (1000 grams), you can use the average weight:
- If we assume an average weight of 180 grams per apple, then:
\[ \text{Number of apples} = \frac{1000 \text{ grams}}{180 \text{ grams/apple}} \approx 5.56 \]
So, you would need about 5 to 6 medium-sized apples to reach a total mass of approximately 1 kg.
If the apples are larger, weighing around 250 grams each, you would need:
\[ \text{Number of apples} = \frac{1000 \text{ grams}}{250 \text{ grams/apple}} = 4 \]
Conversely, if they are smaller, around 100 grams each, you would need:
\[ \text{Number of apples} = \frac{1000 \text{ grams}}{100 \text{ grams/apple}} = 10 \]
So, in summary, you can expect to need anywhere from about 4 to 10 apples to make up 1 kg, depending on their size.
