Question

A student collected 50 ants. The average mass of one ant was grams. What was the total mass (in grams) of the 50 ants?
Write your answer as a decimal.

Enter your answer in the box. Enter only a number in the box.

Answer 1

To find the total mass of the 50 ants, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Total mass} = \text{Average mass per ant} \times \text{Number of ants}
\]

If the average mass of one ant is given as \( x \) grams, then the total mass of the 50 ants would be:

\[
\text{Total mass} = x \times 50
\]

So, if you substitute \( x \) with the actual average mass of one ant, you can calculate the total mass.

For example, if the average mass of one ant is 3 grams, the calculation would be:

\[
\text{Total mass} = 3 \times 50 = 150 \, \text{grams}
\]

To provide an exact answer, please supply the average mass of one ant.
