The mass of a box with 7 mini-helicopters is 3.42 kg.
The mass of the empty box is 1.25 kg.
- What is the mass of each mini-helicopter?
- What is the mass of a box with 9 mini-helicopters?
(a)
Mass of 7 mini-helicopters
= 3.42 - 1.25
= 2.17 kg
Mass of 1 mini-helicopter
= 2.17 ÷ 7
= 0.31 kg
(b)
Mass of 1 box with 9 mini-helicopters
= 1.25 + 9 x 0.31
= 1.25 + 2.79
= 4.04 kg
Answer(s): (a) 0.31 kg; (b) 4.04 kg
