Question

The weight of 100 identical samples of a substance is 0.1 pound.what is the weight of 1000 samples?

Answer 1

Weight of 100 identical samples = 0.1 pound
Weight of 1 identical sample = (0.1)/100 = 0.001
Therefore, the weight of 1000 samples = (1000) (0.001)
The weight of 100 samples = 1 pound

Answer 2

1 pound.

Explanation:

The Weight of 100 samples = 0.1 pound

The weight of 1 Sample =
`(0.1)/(100)`

Therefore, to determine the weight of 1000 sample, we multiply the weight of 1 sample by 1000.

The weight of 1000 Samples =
`(0.1)/(100) X 1000 =0.1 X 10=1`

The weight of 1 sample is 1 pound.
