Writing to explain if 5 potatoes together have a mass of 1 kilogram and 8 pears together have a mass of 1,200 grams, which has the great mass , a potato or a pear ? explain

Answer 1

Since 1 kilogram equals 1,000 grams 5 potatoes equals 1,000 grams. 1,000 divided by 5 is 200. This means 1 potato has a mass of 200 grams 1,200 divided by 8 is 150. that means a pear has a mass of 150 grams. Since 200 grams is bigger then 150 grams, that means the potato has greater mass>
