To solve the problem of determining the maximum number of oranges Penjer can send without exceeding a specified mass, follow these steps:
1. Identify the maximum allowable mass: The total mass of the package cannot exceed 2000 grams.
2. Identify the mass of one orange: Each orange has a mass of 200 grams.
3. Determine how many oranges can fit within the maximum allowable mass:
- To find out how many times 200 grams (the mass of one orange) can fit into 2000 grams (the maximum allowable mass), you need to divide the maximum allowable mass by the mass of one orange.
[tex]\[
\text{Maximum number of oranges} = \frac{\text{Maximum allowable mass}}{\text{Mass of each orange}} = \frac{2000 \text{ grams}}{200 \text{ grams/orange}}
\][/tex]
4. Perform the division:
[tex]\[
\frac{2000 \text{ grams}}{200 \text{ grams/orange}} = 10 \text{ oranges}
\][/tex]
Therefore, the maximum number of oranges Penjer can send to his friend without exceeding a mass of 2000 grams is 10 oranges.
