Eight apples have a mass of 1400g find the mass of 2360 apples in kg

Answer 1

To find the mass of 2360 apples, we can set up a proportion based on the number of apples and their mass.

Let's assume that the mass of one apple is m kg.

From the given information, we have:
8 apples = 1400g

To convert grams to kilograms, we divide by 1000:
1400g = 1.4kg

So, we now have:
8 apples = 1.4kg

We can set up the proportion:
8 apples / 1.4kg = 2360 apples / x kg

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and divide:
8*x = 1.4*2360
8x = 1.4*2360
8x = 3304
x = 3304/8
x = 413

Therefore, the mass of 2360 apples is 413 kg.
