To find the total mass, we need to add the masses of the books bag and the magazine box together.
First, let's convert everything to the same unit, preferably kilograms:
-
Books bag: 15 kg + 200 g
- 200 g is equal to 0.2 kg.
- Total mass of the books bag = 15 kg + 0.2 kg = 15.2 kg
-
Magazine box: 9 kg + 800 g
- 800 g is equal to 0.8 kg.
- Total mass of the magazine box = 9 kg + 0.8 kg = 9.8 kg
Now, adding both totals together:
15.2 kg (books bag) + 9.8 kg (magazine box) = 25 kg
Therefore, the total mass is 25 kg.
