What weighs more a cookie or it's crumbs?

Answer 1

Parts make up the whole? At first i would think that the weight would be the same; however unless there is a 'perfect' cookie out there, air does get trapped in the whole cookie, which is expunged from the whole cookie when broken apart. Macro level = the same, micro level = the cookie as a whole weighs more.

Answer 2

A cookie weighs more than its crumbs because the cookie is a solid mass, while the crumbs are broken-down pieces of the original cookie.

Answer 3

The cookie will always weigh more. The crumb is only a very small piece of the cookie.

Answer 4

crumbs weigh the same as a cookie

Answer 5

Whole cookie
