Eight apples have a mass of 1400g find the mass of 144 apples in kg

Answer 1

To find the mass of 144 apples, we can set up a proportion using the information given.

We know that 8 apples have a mass of 1400g.

Let's call the mass of 144 apples "x" kg.

Using the proportion:

8 apples / 1400g = 144 apples / x kg

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:

8 * x = 1400 * 144

Simplifying:
8x = 201600

Dividing both sides by 8:
x = 201600 / 8

Calculating:
x = 25200

Therefore, the mass of 144 apples is 25200 kg.
