Abrianna placed a ball of clay on a table. She flattened it into the shape of a disc. She turned to Hanna and said, "Look, I have changed the weight of the clay!" Hanna responds, "No, the weight has not

changed. The mass has." How would you respond? Write your response in your

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Both would be right if some of the clay was removed.

Since there is no mention of anything being removed, both are incorrect. There is always the same mass when the shape has been altered.
