To estimate the mass of the mustard seeds in the jar, you can multiply the number of seeds by the mass of each seed.
Given:
- Mass of one mustard seed = 0.002 grams
- Number of seeds = \( 4.3602 \times 10^4 \)
Now, we can calculate the total mass:
\[ \text{Total mass} = \text{Number of seeds} \times \text{Mass of one seed} \] \[ \text{Total mass} = 4.3602 \times 10^4 \times 0.002 \]
Calculating this:
\[ = 4.3602 \times 0.002 \times 10^4 = 0.0087204 \times 10^4 = 872.04 \text{ grams} \]
So, the total mass of the mustard seeds in the jar is approximately 872 grams.
A reasonable estimate of the mass of the mustard seeds in the jar would be around 870 grams.
