In a science lab a group counted out 400 seeds in their pumpkin. after weighing 10 seeds they came up with the weight of 0.056 ounces. how much would the total seeds weigh?

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 =

                                         =

⇒ 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.
