Answer 1

The Solution:

Given:

Apple weight = 85,000 milligrams

Peach weight = 0.15 kilograms.

Required:

To determine which fruit has a greater mass.

Converting 0.15 kilogram to milligrams, we get:

`\begin{gathered} 0.15*1000000=150\text{ milligrams} \\ 85000mg>150mg \end{gathered}`

Clearly, Apple has a greater mass than a peach.

Therefore, the correct answer is Apple fruit.
