Answer: 4873200 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given mass:
1.572* 10^8 troy oz

Conversion factor :
1troyoz=0.031kg

Thus if 1 troy oz weighs in kg = 0.031 kg


1.572* 10^8 troy oz will weigh in kg =
(0.031)/(1)* 1.572* 10^8=0.04873* 10^8kg

Thus there are
0.04873* 10^8kg in
1.572* 10^8 troy oz of silver used.
