When comparing the weight of 100 MacBooks to a refrigerator, it’s essential to use specific models for accuracy. For this comparison, we’ll use the Apple MacBook Air (M2, 2022) and the Whirlpool 18 cu. ft. Top Freezer Refrigerator (WRT318FZDM). The MacBook Air weighs approximately 2.7 pounds (1.24 kg), while the Whirlpool refrigerator weighs about 198 pounds (89.8 kg).
Product Example and Assumptions
The Apple MacBook Air (M2, 2022) is a popular choice for its lightweight design and powerful performance. It weighs 2.7 pounds (1.24 kg) and measures 11.97 x 8.46 x 0.44 inches. The Whirlpool 18 cu. ft. Top Freezer Refrigerator is a standard household appliance with dimensions of 28 x 32 x 67 inches and a weight of 198 pounds (89.8 kg).
Calculation
To determine if 100 MacBooks are heavier than the refrigerator, we calculate the total weight of the MacBooks:
Weight of one MacBook Air = 2.7 pounds
Total weight of 100 MacBooks = 2.7 pounds x 100 = 270 pounds
Comparing this to the refrigerator’s weight:
Weight of Whirlpool refrigerator = 198 pounds
Volume and Cost
Next, we estimate the total volume and cost of the MacBooks:
Volume of one MacBook Air = 11.97 x 8.46 x 0.44 inches = 44.5 cubic inches
Total volume of 100 MacBooks = 44.5 cubic inches x 100 = 4,450 cubic inches
The cost of one MacBook Air (M2, 2022) is approximately 1,199 dollars. Therefore, the total cost for 100 MacBooks is:
Total cost of 100 MacBooks = 1,199 dollars x 100 = 119,900 dollars
Conclusion
In this comparison, 100 MacBook Airs weigh a total of 270 pounds, which is heavier than the Whirlpool refrigerator at 198 pounds. The total volume occupied by the MacBooks is 4,450 cubic inches, and the cost for 100 units is approximately 119,900 dollars. Therefore, in terms of weight, 100 MacBooks are indeed heavier than the refrigerator.
