The electronic balance displays the mass of an apple in kiograms(0.1). What is the mass of the apple? Suppose a recipe for applesauce called for one kilogram of apples. About how many would you need.

If the balance says it has a mass of 0.1 kg then that is the mass. You might want to express it in grams as 100 g but 0.1 kg is a perfectly good number. If you want 1 kg of apples, then
1 kg x (1 apple/0.1kg) = # apples

Okay, don't bet on this, but I think maybe ten apples? Since the apple weighs 0.1 KG there are ten one-tenths, which equals a full kilogram. But I am not completely sure.

To calculate the number of apples needed, we can use a ratio: 1 kg of apples is equivalent to 0.1 kg per apple.

Therefore, we can set up the equation:

1 kg x (1 apple/0.1 kg) =

This simplifies to:

1 kg x (10 apples/kg) =

Thus, you would need approximately 10 apples to make 1 kg of applesauce.

To find out how many apples you would need for 1 kg of applesauce, you can use a ratio.

Given:
Mass of one apple = 0.1 kg

Step 1: Set up the ratio
1 kg of apples = ? number of apples

Step 2: Convert the mass of one apple to kg
0.1 kg = 1 apple

Step 3: Set up the ratio using the conversion
1 kg of apples = (1 apple) / (0.1 kg)

Step 4: Simplify the ratio
1 kg of apples = 10 apples

Therefore, you would need approximately 10 apples to make 1 kg of applesauce.
