Question

The mass of gemstones and pearls is usually expressed in units called carats. One carat is exactly equal to 200 mg. What is the mass in grams for a 9.50 carat diamond?

Answer 1

Answer: The mass in grams for a 9.50 carat diamond is 1.9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

The mass of gemstones and pearls is usually expressed in units called carats.

we have to find mass in grams for 9.50 carat diamond.

1 carat = 200 mg

Thus 9.50 carat=
`(200)/(1)* 9.50=1900mg`

Also
`1 mg =10^(-3)g`

Thus
`1900mg =(10^(-3))/(1)* 1900=1.9g`

Thus the mass in grams for a 9.50 carat diamond is 1.9
