supergirl22 · Answer

hmmmm..... I would go with 1,00 grams I hope this helps ☺

supergirl22 · Answer

*1,000 g sorry missed spelled

mathstudent55 · Answer

No. 1,000 g is 1 kg. This is more than 2 lb.
That is way more than the weight of an orange.

samara8954 · Answer

so what do you think the answer is? @mathstudent55

mathstudent55 · Answer

I think 50 g or 250 g is more reasonable.

samara8954 · Answer

here is a better picture of the table

mathstudent55 · Answer

Thanks.
Look at a walnut.It is only 20 g.
I think an orange is more than just 2.5 times the weight of a walnut, so I'd go with 250 g.
