Answer:


10^(-10) particles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Speek of dust weighs
1.6* 10^(-10)\ kg

We need to find the number of such particles that would weight 1.6 kg.

Let there are n number of particles.

It can be calculated as :


n=\frac{\text{Total weight}}{\text{Weight of each particles}}\\\\=(1.6)/(1.6* 10^(-10))\\\\=10^(10)

Hence, there are
10^(-10) particles.
