A golf ball weighs 4 oz. How many golf balls would there be in 2.5-ton sample of golf balls, assuming each golf ball had the same weight
2.5 tons = 80000 oz
80000/4 = 20000
There would be 20000 4 oz golf balls.
Answer: The number of golf balls is 20000
Explanation:
We are given:
Mass of 1 golf ball = 4 oz
Mass of the sample of golf balls = 2.5 ton = 80000 oz (Conversion factor: 1 ton = 32000 oz)
To find the number of golf balls, we divide the total mass by mass of 1 golf ball, we get:
\(\text{Number of golf balls}=\frac{\text{Mass of the sample of golf balls}}{\text{Mass of 1 golf ball}}\)
\(\text{Number of golf balls}=\frac{80000oz}{4oz}=20000\)
Hence, the number of golf balls is 20000
