Answer 1

Option B

The thickness of each washer is 0.083 inches

Solution:

Given that Bryce buys 9 bolts and he buys 9 washers to place onto the bolts

He puts the washers he bought in a stack that has a height of 0.747 inches

To find: thickness of each washer

From given information,

Number of washers bought = 9

Height of stack = 0.747 inches

Thus, thickness of each washer can be found by dividing height of stack by number of washers bought

`\text{ thickness of each washer } =\frac{\text{height of stack}}{\text{ number of washer }}`

Substituting the values we get,

`\text{ thickness of each washer } =(0.747)/(9) = 0.083`

Thus thickness of each washer is 0.083 inches
