Question

A shelf contains 20 eight boxes of cereal each box has a mass of 375 grams which equation can you use to find the total mass of the box what is the total mass m in Grams

Answer 1

To find the total mass \( m \) of the 20 boxes of cereal, you can use the equation:

\[
m = n \times b
\]

where:
- \( n \) is the number of boxes (which is 20 in this case),
- \( b \) is the mass of each box (which is 375 grams).

Substituting the values:

\[
m = 20 \times 375
\]

Now, calculating that:

\[
m = 7500
\]

Thus, the total mass \( m \) in grams is 7500 grams.
