Question

Candace bought 8 apples and 9 peaches at the grocery store. If the apples have a mass of 1,200 grams and the peaches have a mass of 1,080 grams, what is the total mass of the fruit?

Answer 1

A 2 kilograms 2 hectograms 8 dekagrams
B 2 kilograms 2 grams 8 decigrams
C 2 kilograms 2 centigrams 8 milligrams

Answer 2

multiply the 1200 by 8 then the 9 by 1080

Answer 3

9600

Answer 4

9720

Answer 5

is the 1200 and 1080 like the total already or for each one?

Answer 6

1200 multiply 8 is 9600

Answer 7

1080 multiply by 9 is 9720

Answer 8

i get that part but the question is weirdly worded. all you have to do is add the two together(1080 and 1200) and then get them in terms of grams and such.

Answer 9

The total weight of the fruit in grams is 1200 + 1080 = 2280 grams
This weight can be broken down as follows:
2000 grams + 200 grams +80 grams
2000 grams = 2 kilograms
200 grams = 2 hectograms
80 grams = 8 decagrams

Answer 10

i know but these are my answers



2 kilograms 2 hectograms 8 dekagrams





2 kilograms 2 grams 8 decigrams





2 kilograms 2 centigrams 8 milligrams

Answer 11

well kilograms are 1000 grams so if you add those together you would get 2280 so what would it be?

Answer 12

If you look at my posting you will see the correct choice, just combine the last three lines.

Answer 13

add wat up

Answer 14

i just told you what to add...add the two masses(1200 and 1080)

Answer 15

ok so that gives me 2280

Answer 16

yes. so now we know that 1000 grams goes into 1kilogram, so how many grams would you have from that?

Answer 17

2000 grams = 2 kilograms
200 grams = 2 hectograms
80 grams = 8 decagrams
Just write the three entries on the right hand side of each equation in order and you have one of the choices.
