Answer 1

The answer is D. The sum of the mass of all the pieces of paper is 2 grams. Hope this helped! Good luck! :)

Answer 2

The answer is C  The sum of the mass of all the pieces of paper is  2 grams  

Because, matter cannot be created or destroyed. The mass of a substance remains constant whether it is together or in parts. Therefore, the sum of the mass of all the pieces of paper must equal the mass of the whole sheet of paper: 2 grams.
