Question

200 kg of brass is melted down and cast into ornamental frogs, each weight 3/20kg. How many frogs are made?

Answer 1

Answer:

1,333 frogs

Step-by-step explanation:

okay so we know that mass remains conserved no matter where you are.

same here ^^

if the total mass of brass is 200 kg

the total mass of the new frogs formed from it when put together will be the same :)

and if there were n such frogs formed

we have,

total mass = n × mass of each frog

200 = n × 3/ 20

n = 4000/ 3

so it becomes something like 1,333.33

that is nearly 1,333 frogs can be made out of 200 kg of brass each weighing 3/ 20kg (the last ones a bit less to make upto 200kg)
