For the nails in the bin below, there are 500 nails per kg.” Using this conversion factor, perform the following calculations.

How many nails would you have if you had 0.15 kg?

500 * 0.15 = ?

@ Ms. Sue WHY? is that correct?

0.15 is between 10 and 20%, so we know the answer must be between 50 and 100.

15% = 0.15

To find out how many nails would you have if you had 0.15 kg, you can use the conversion factor given, which states that there are 500 nails per kg.

First, you need to set up a proportion using the conversion factor:

500 nails / 1 kg = x nails / 0.15 kg

To solve for x, you can cross multiply and divide:

500 nails * 0.15 kg = x nails * 1 kg

75 nails = x nails

So, you would have 75 nails if you had 0.15 kg.
