Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the mass of each box

• For 20 cans of soup: $20\times800 = 16000$ g
• For 5 boxes of pasta: $5\times450=2250$ g
• For 2 boxes of crackers: $2\times300 = 600$ g
• For 10 apples: $10\times150=1500$ g

Step2: Compare the masses

• $16000>2250>1500>600$

Answer:

20 cans of soup, 5 boxes of pasta, 10 apples, 2 boxes of crackers
