Question

The mail carrier has to deliver 3 boxes. The first box has a mass of 80 kilograms, the second box has a mass of 40 kilograms, and the third box has a mass of 60 kilograms. What is the total mass of all 3 boxes in grams?

180 grams
1,800 grams
18,000 grams
180,000 grams

Answer 1

To calculate the total mass (in grams) of the three boxes, we first need to convert their masses from kilograms to grams and then add them together.

The mass of the first box is 80 kg, which is equivalent to 80,000 grams (because 1 kg = 1000 grams).

The mass of the second box is 40 kilograms, or 40,000 grams.

The mass of the third box is 60 kilograms, or 60,000 grams.

To find the total mass of the three boxes, we add these values:

80,000 grams + 40,000 grams + 60,000 grams = 180,000 grams

Therefore, The total mass of the three boxes in gram is 180,000

The correct answer is D) 180,000

Answer 2

Answer: 180,000 g

Explanation:

1st add all masses together:

80kg + 40kg + 60 kg = 180 kg

then we need to convert kilograms to grams:

1 kg = 1000g

180kg * (1000g / 1kg) = 180,000 g
