Books bag mass is 15kg and 200gram. Magazine box has mass of 9kg and 800g what is the total mass

1 answer

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:

  1. 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
  2. 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.
