0.8595g

Explanation:

According to the Standard International Units

1Kg = 1000g

Therefore, xKg = 95.5g

Solve for x

1 × 95.5 = x × 1000

95.5 = 1000x ( Divide both sides by 1000)

95.5/1000 = 0.0955

Therefore each magnet weighed 0.0955g

9 magnets will weigh 0.0955 × 9 = 0.8595 g

Therefore 9 magnets weigh 0.8595g or 859.5Kg
