The mass of a box with 3 mini-helicopters is 8.56 kg.
The mass of the empty box is 7.36 kg.
- What is the mass of each mini-helicopter?
- What is the mass of a box with 7 mini-helicopters?
(a)
Mass of 3 mini-helicopters
= 8.56 - 7.36
= 1.2 kg
Mass of 1 mini-helicopter
= 1.2 ÷ 3
= 0.4 kg
(b)
Mass of 1 box with 7 mini-helicopters
= 7.36 + 7 x 0.4
= 7.36 + 2.8
= 10.16 kg
Answer(s): (a) 0.4 kg; (b) 10.16 kg
