Answer:
The total weight of 400 pumpkin seeds is 2.24 ounces.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of seeds counted in the pumpkin = 400
Weight of 10 seeds = 0.056 ounces
So, the weight of 1 seed = [tex]\frac{\textrm{Total weight of 10 seeds}}{\textrm{10 seeds}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{0.056}{10 } = 0.0056[/tex]
⇒ The weight of 1 pumpkin seed = 0.0056 ounce
Now, the weight of such 400 seeds = 400 x (weight of 1 seed)
= 400 x ( 0.0056 o.) = 2.24 ounces
Hence, the total weight of 400 pumpkin seeds is 2.24 ounces.
