Question

A chemist measures out 3.888 grams of sodium. She then separates it into test tubes that each hold 0.054 grams. How many test tubes did the chemist use?

Answer 1

Grams of sodium: 3.888

Each tube holds: 0.054 grams

To calculate the number of tubes used, divide the grams of sodium (3.888) by the capacity of each tube (0.054)

3.888 /0.054 = 72 tubes
