Question

A sack of Nickels has a mass of 45 g. There are 9 nickels in the stack

What is the mass of one nickel

Please help urgent

Answer 1

Hello there!

9 nickels = 45g

1 nickel = ?

Then cross multiply that

45 * 1 = 9 * x

45 = 9x

x = 45/9

x = 5

As always, it is my pleasure helping students like you!

Answer 2

To do this you will take the mass of the sack which is 45g.

Divide this amount by the number of nickels in the sack which is 9.

`45 / 9 = 5`

So the mass of one nickel is 5g.
