Rosemary has a set of 8 books. Each book has a mass of 2 kilograms.
What is the total mass of the books?
An 8-segment bar diagram labeled question mark total kilograms is shown. Each segment is labeled 2 kilograms.
A.
4 kilograms
B.
6 kilograms
C.
10 kilograms
D.
16 kilograms
The total mass of the books is 16 kilograms (2 kg/book x 8 books). Therefore, the answer is D.
To find the total mass of the books, we can simply multiply the mass of each book by the number of books in the set. Given that each book has a mass of 2 kilograms and there are 8 books in the set, we can calculate the total mass as follows:
Total mass = Mass per book × Number of books
Total mass = 2 kilograms/book × 8 books
Total mass = 16 kilograms
Therefore, the correct answer is:
D. 16 kilograms
To find the total mass of the books, we need to multiply the mass of each book (2 kilograms) by the number of books (8).
The formula to calculate the total mass is:
Total mass = Mass of each book × Number of books
In this case, the mass of each book is 2 kilograms, and the number of books is 8.
Total mass = 2 kilograms/book × 8 books = 16 kilograms
So the total mass of the books is 16 kilograms.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D. 16 kilograms
