Check Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be interpreted in 2 manners, especially if it is missing a detail like "Connor had two bags of candy weighing 492 grams each".

Taking the interpretations one at a time assuming the weights of the bags containing the candy is small enough to be neglected.

- Connor had two bags of candy weighing 492 grams. What is the total weight of Connor's candy?

If his bags of candy are known to weigh 492 grams

The total weight of the candy is 492 g.

The total weight of the candy in Newton, W = mg

where m = mass in kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

W = 0.492 × 9.8 = 4.8216 = 4.822 N

The other interpretation of the question was missing a detail

- Connor had two bags of candy weighing 492 grams each. What is the total weight of Connor's candy?

Total weight of the candy in grams = 2 × 492 = 984 g

Total weight of the candy in Newton = mg = 0.984 × 9.8 = 9.6432 = 9.643 N
