Solution

The analysis of 3.1.3 (42) on the fertilizer bag indicates the percentage of Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K) in the fertilizer. The first number (3) represents the percentage of Nitrogen.

Step 1: Convert the percentage of Nitrogen to a decimal by dividing by 100. So, 3/100 = 0.03.

Step 2: Multiply the weight of the fertilizer bag by the decimal to find the total Nitrogen mass in the bag. So, 50 kg * 0.03 = 1.5 kg.

Therefore, the total Nitrogen mass in the bag is 1.5 kg.
