What is the total weight, in grams, if x = 5 apples?

Understand the Problem

The prompt describes how to calculate the weight of x apples, given that each apple weighs 320 grams. The question then asks us to calculate the total weight of 5 apples.

Answer

1600 grams

Steps to Solve

Identify the weight of a single apple

The problem states that each apple weighs 320 grams.

Determine the number of apples

We are asked to find the total weight of 5 apples.

Calculate the total weight

To find the total weight, multiply the weight of a single apple by the number of apples:

$$ \text{Total weight} = \text{Weight of one apple} \times \text{Number of apples} $$

$$ \text{Total weight} = 320 \text{ grams} \times 5 $$

$$ \text{Total weight} = 1600 \text{ grams} $$

The total weight of 5 apples is 1600 grams.

More Information

We can extend this concept to calculate the weight of any number of apples. If we knew the price per gram of apples, we could also calculate the total cost.

Tips

A common mistake is to add the weight of an apple to the number of apples instead of multiplying. Remember that repeated addition is multiplication. Another common mistake is using the wrong units or forgetting to include the units in the final answer.
