Question

based on the data set below what is the relative mass of the quarter? actual mass(g) dime 2.30 nickel 5.00 penny 2.50 quarter 5.66

Answer 1

quarter = 2.50, nickel = 2.20, and cent = 1.10

Step-by-step explanation:

You divide the mass of the object by the mass of the comparison object.

Relative mass;

The masses of these coins are:

quarter = 5.66 g; dime = 2.30 g; nickel = 5.00 g; penny = 2.50 g.

What are the masses of these coins relative to the mass of a dime?

We get

Quarters : dimes : nickels : cents = 5.66 g : 2.30 g : 5.00 g : 2.50 g

=
`(5.66)/(2.30) :(2.30)/(2.30) : (5.00)/(2.30) : (2.50)/(2.30)`

= 2.50 : 1 : 2.20 : 1.10

Thus, compared to a dime, the relative masses are: quarter = 2.50, nickel = 2.20, and cent = 1.10.
