Mr. Randall has wrenches in a toolbox. The total mass of the wrenches in the
toolbox is 3 kilograms. Mr. Randall takes out one wrench that has a mass of
350 grams. What is the mass in grams of the wrenches left in the toolbox?
(1 kilogram = 1,000 grams)
3000 - 350 = ?
To find the mass of the wrenches left in the toolbox, we need to subtract the mass of the wrench that Mr. Randall took out from the total mass of the wrenches in the toolbox.
Given:
Total mass of the wrenches in the toolbox = 3 kilograms
Mass of the wrench taken out = 350 grams
First, let's convert the total mass of the wrenches in the toolbox from kilograms to grams since we have the mass of the wrench taken out in grams.
1 kilogram = 1000 grams.
Total mass of the wrenches in the toolbox in grams = 3 kilograms * 1000 grams/kilogram = 3000 grams.
Now we can find the mass of the wrenches left in the toolbox by subtracting the mass of the wrench taken out from the total mass of the wrenches in the toolbox.
Mass of the wrenches left in the toolbox = Total mass of the wrenches in the toolbox - Mass of the wrench taken out
= 3000 grams - 350 grams
= 2650 grams.
Therefore, the mass of the wrenches left in the toolbox is 2650 grams.
To find the mass of the wrenches left in the toolbox, we first need to convert the mass of the wrench Mr. Randall took out from grams to kilograms.
Given:
Total mass of the wrenches in the toolbox = 3 kilograms
Mass of the taken out wrench = 350 grams
To convert grams to kilograms, we divide the mass in grams by 1000.
Mass of taken out wrench in kilograms = 350 grams / 1000 = 0.35 kilograms
Now, we can find the mass of the wrenches left in the toolbox by subtracting the mass of the taken out wrench from the total mass.
Mass of the wrenches left in the toolbox = Total mass - Mass of taken out wrench
Mass of the wrenches left in the toolbox = 3 kilograms - 0.35 kilograms
Mass of the wrenches left in the toolbox = 2.65 kilograms
However, the question asks for the mass of the wrenches left in grams.
To convert kilograms to grams, we multiply the mass in kilograms by 1000.
Mass of the wrenches left in grams = Mass of the wrenches left in the toolbox * 1000
Mass of the wrenches left in grams = 2.65 kilograms * 1000 = 2650 grams
Therefore, the mass in grams of the wrenches left in the toolbox is 2650 grams.
