1 answer

To find the mass of each can in grams, we first need to determine the total mass of the cans.

The initial mass of the empty bowl is 600 g and the final mass of the bowl with 8 cans is 7 kg (7000 g). Therefore, the mass of the cans alone is 7000 g - 600 g = 6400 g.

Now, to find the mass of each can, we divide the total mass of the cans by the number of cans:

6400 g / 8 cans = 800 g

Therefore, the mass of each can is 800 g.

Therefore, answer is 800 g.
