$M_{r} (C_{4} H_{8}) = 56$ $M_r(C_4H_8)=56$

$M_{a} (C) = 12$ $M_a(C) = 12$
$M_{a} (H) = 1$ $M_a(H) = 1$

$M_{r} (C_{4}) = 12 \cdot 4 = 48$ $M_r(C_4) = 12 * 4 = 48$
$M_{r} (H_{8}) = 1 \cdot 8 = 8$ $M_r(H_8) = 1 * 8 = 8$

$M_{r} (C_{4} H_{8}) = 48 + 8 = 56$ $M_r(C_4H_8) = 48 + 8 = 56$
$M_{r} (C_{4} H_{8}) = 56$ $M_r(C_4H_8)=56$
