Question

A shelf contains 28 boxes of cereal. Each box has a mass of 375 grams. Which equation can you use to find the total mass of the boxes? What is the total mass, m, in grams of all the boxes? (1 point) Responses 28+375=m; m=403 grams 28 + 375 = m ; m = 403 grams 28×375=m; m=1,050 grams 28 × 375 = m ; m = 1 , 050 grams 28×375=m; m = 10,500 grams 28 × 375 = m ; m = 10 , 500 grams 28×375=m; m=11,500 grams

Answer 1

To find the total mass of the 28 boxes of cereal, you should use the equation:

\[ 28 \times 375 = m \]

Now, let's calculate the total mass \( m \):

\[
m = 28 \times 375
\]

Calculating that:

\[
m = 28 \times 375 = 10,500 \text{ grams}
\]

So the correct response is:

**28 × 375 = m; m = 10,500 grams**
