Certainly, let's solve the problem step by step:
1. Step 1: Understand the Total Mass Given
- The problem states that the total mass of the 3 watermelons is 9 kg.
2. Step 2: Number of Watermelons
- There are 3 watermelons in total.
3. Step 3: Determine the Mass of Each Watermelon
- Since each watermelon has the same mass, we can find the mass of one watermelon by dividing the total mass by the number of watermelons.
4. Step 4: Perform the Division
- Divide the total mass (9 kg) by the number of watermelons (3).
[tex]\[
\text{Mass of each watermelon} = \frac{\text{Total mass}}{\text{Number of watermelons}} = \frac{9 \text{ kg}}{3} = 3 \text{ kg}
\][/tex]
Therefore, the mass of each watermelon is 3 kg.
