Question

Kevin has four apples in a boat each apple weighs 60 G and the empty bowl weighs 40 grams what is the total weight of the four apples with the bow

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

280 g

Explanation:

The total weight is the sum of the weights of the objects:

total = bowl + apple + apple + apple + apple

We use multiplication to simplify repeated sums:

total = bowl + 4 × apple

total = (40 g) + 4 × (60 g) = 40g + 240 g

total = 280 g

The bowl and 4 apples weighs 280 grams.
