The problem you've provided asks about ratios of the mass of tomatoes and broccoli sold in a supermarket.

1. **Part a:**
   - The ratio of the mass of tomatoes sold to the mass of broccoli sold is given as \( 49 : 28 \).
   - To determine how many times the mass of the tomatoes is the mass of the broccoli, we simplify the ratio:
     \[
     \frac{49}{28} = \frac{7}{4} = 1.75
     \]
   - Thus, the mass of the tomatoes sold is **1.75 times** the mass of the broccoli sold.

2. **Part b:**
   - We need to find how many times the total mass of the tomatoes and broccoli sold is the mass of the broccoli.
   - The total mass is \( 49 + 28 = 77 \).
   - The ratio of the total mass to the mass of broccoli is:
     \[
     \frac{77}{28} = \frac{11}{4} = 2.75
     \]
   - Therefore, the total mass of tomatoes and broccoli sold is **2.75 times** the mass of the broccoli.

Would you like any further details or have additional questions?

Here are five related questions to further practice this concept:
1. If the mass of tomatoes sold was 98 kg, how much broccoli was sold?
2. If 56 kg of broccoli was sold, how much was the total mass of both tomatoes and broccoli?
3. If the ratio of oranges to apples sold is 3:5, what is the ratio of apples to the total mass of oranges and apples?
4. How can you determine the total mass from a given ratio if one of the quantities is unknown?
5. If the ratio of one item to another is simplified, how does it help in comparing quantities?

**Tip:** Always simplify ratios for easier comparison between quantities.

The ratio of the mass of tomatoes sold to the mass of broccoli sold in a supermarket is 49:28. 
 a) How many times the mass of tomatoes sold is the mass of the broccoli? 
 b) How many times the total mass of the tomatoes and broccoli sold is the mass of the broccoli?

Understand how to solve a ratio problem where the mass of tomatoes sold to broccoli is 49:28. Learn how to simplify the ratio and find the relationship between the total mass and the mass of broccoli.
