Given:
<span>M1 = 6.5 kg of books
</span><span>M2 = 1.5 kg of CDs
</span><span>M3 = 2.0 kg of DVDs
Required: percent by mass of each object
Solution:
First, we calculate the total mass.
M = 6.5 kg + 1.5 kg + 2.0 kg = 10 kg
Percent by mass is calculated by getting the ration of the mass of an object and the total mass multiplied by 100 to get the percent.
%M1 = 6.5 / 10 x 100 = 65%
%M2 = 1.5/10 x 100 = 15%
%M3 = 2.0/10 x 100 = 20%</span>
