The total mass of 1000 similar parcels is [tex]$1567 \, \text{kg}$[/tex]. What is the total mass of 100 such parcels?



Answer :

To determine the total mass of 100 parcels given that the total mass of 1000 similar parcels is 1567 kg, we can follow these steps:

1. Calculate the mass of one parcel:
- To find the mass of a single parcel, we need to divide the total mass of the 1000 parcels by the number of parcels.
- Total mass of 1000 parcels = 1567 kg
- Number of parcels = 1000
- Mass per parcel = Total mass of parcels / Number of parcels
- Mass per parcel = 1567 kg / 1000

Thus, the mass of one parcel is calculated to be 1.567 kg.

2. Calculate the total mass of 100 parcels:
- Now that we know the mass of one parcel, we can find the total mass of 100 parcels by multiplying the mass of one parcel by the number of parcels.
- Mass of one parcel = 1.567 kg
- Number of parcels = 100
- Total mass of 100 parcels = Mass per parcel Number of parcels
- Total mass of 100 parcels = 1.567 kg
100

Therefore, the total mass of 100 such parcels is 156.7 kg.

So, the mass of one parcel is 1.567 kg, and the total mass of 100 parcels is 156.7 kg.
