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:
[tex]\text{Number of golf balls}=\frac{\text{Mass of the sample of golf balls}}{\text{Mass of 1 golf ball}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Number of golf balls}=\frac{80000oz}{4oz}=20000[/tex]
Hence, the number of golf balls is 20000
