A ) a greeting card that weighs 68 grams
B ) a package of pens that weighs 680 grams
C ) a box of raisins weighing 500 grams
D ) a textbook that weighs 1,000 grams

2 1 ounce is little more than 28 grams.

3 24 ounces ≈ 24 × 28 = 672 grams

4 The weight of the potates is 672 grams.

5 So, package of pens that weighs 680 grams has about the same mass as 24 oz of potatoes.



Hence the right answer is Option B
