To determine who is carrying more weight, we need to calculate the total mass of the bags each person is carrying.
1. Convert the mass of the bags to the same unit (grams or kilograms, for example):
- The bag carried by Garner's mom has a mass of 1.33 kilograms (1330 grams).
- Garner's first bag has a mass of 580 grams.
- Garner's second bag has a mass of 790 grams.
2. Add up the masses in each person's possession:
- Garner's total mass is the sum of the two bags he is carrying:
Total mass = 580 grams + 790 grams = 1370 grams.
- Garner's mom's total mass is just the mass of her bag:
Total mass = 1330 grams.
3. Compare the total masses to determine who is carrying more and by how much:
- Garner's total mass is 1370 grams, while Garner's mom's total mass is 1330 grams.
- Therefore, Garner is carrying more.
- The difference in mass between Garner and his mom is:
1370 grams - 1330 grams = 40 grams.
So, Garner is carrying more by 40 grams.
