85,000 milligrams is the same as 85 grams. 0.15 kilograms is the same as 150 grams. The peach has the greater mass.
To convert 85,000 milligrams to grams, we divide by 1000 since there are 1000 milligrams in a gram.
85,000 milligrams ÷ 1000 = 85 grams
To convert 0.15 kilograms to grams, we multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram.
0.15 kilograms × 1000 = 150 grams
Comparing the masses, we see that the apple weighs 85 grams and the peach weighs 150 grams.
Therefore, the peach has the greater mass.
The answer is j. peach
To compare the masses of the apple and the peach, we need to convert their masses to the same unit. Let's convert 85,000 milligrams to grams and 0.15 kilograms to grams:
85,000 milligrams = 85 grams (since there are 1,000 milligrams in a gram)
0.15 kilograms = 150 grams (since there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram)
Now we can compare the masses. The apple weighs 85 grams and the peach weighs 150 grams. Therefore, the peach has the greater mass.
