Given,
Mass required to trigger a mouse trap =157grams
Mass of mouse = 4 ounces (oz)
we need to find the largest mass of cheese a mouse should carry to not set off the trap-
Firstly, we need to convert oz into grams
⇒ 4 x 28.3 = 113.2 grams
∴Mass of cheese in grams = 113.2
For the mouse to not set off the trap, mass of mouse + mass of cheese should be less than 157 grams.
⇒113.2 + mass of cheese < 157
⇒ Mass of cheese < 157 - 113.2
Mass of cheese < 43.8 gm
Hence, the mouse should carry a cheese of 43.8 grams to not set off the trap.

Given,
A mouse trap requires 157 grams of mass to set off.
Mouse weight is 4 ounces (oz)
To avoid setting off the trap, we need to determine how much cheese a mouse should be able to carry.
First, we must change an ounce into grams.
4 x 28.3 equals 113.2 grams.
The mass of cheese is 113.2 grams.
Mass of mouse plus mass of cheese must be less than 157 grams for the mouse to avoid setting off the trap.
113.2 + cheese mass equals 157.
157 cheese mass - 113.2= 43.8 g of cheese total.
Hence, In order to avoid setting off the trap, the mouse should carry a 43.8-gram block of cheese.
