on a special scale in the science lab, scott weighed samples of different kind of soil.sample A weighed 3 ounces. sample B weighed 814 thousandths of an ounce more than sample A. what decimal should scott use to record the weight of sample B.

3.814 ounces

3.814

To find the weight of sample B, we need to add 814 thousandths of an ounce to the weight of sample A.

First, let's convert the weight of sample A to decimal form. Since sample A weighs 3 ounces, the decimal representation of 3 is 3.000.

Next, we need to add 814 thousandths of an ounce to the weight of sample A. To do this, we can simply add 0.814 to the decimal representation of sample A.

3.000 + 0.814 = 3.814

Therefore, Scott should use 3.814 as the decimal to record the weight of sample B.
