Question

50g of water is placed into a beaker. the mass of the beaker is now 115g. what is the mass of the empty beaker?

Answer 1

115 - 50 = 65, therefore the beakers mass is 65g

Answer 2

Answer : The mass of the empty beaker is, 65 grams

Explanation : Given,

Initial mass of water = 50 g

Final mass of water = 115 g

Now we have to determine the mass of empty beaker.

Mass of empty beaker = Final mass of water - Initial mass of water

Mass of empty beaker = (115 - 50) grams

Mass of empty beaker = 65 grams

Therefore, the mass of the empty beaker is, 65 grams
