Mia bought 7 golf balls. The total weight of the golf balls was 8 ounces. To the nearest hundredth of an ounce, how much did each golf ball weigh?
Divide 7 by 8.
7/8 = _________ ounces
To find the weight of each golf ball, we can divide the total weight (8 ounces) by the number of golf balls (7).
So the weight of each golf ball can be calculated by dividing 8 ounces by 7:
Weight of each golf ball = Total weight / Number of golf balls
Weight of each golf ball = 8 ounces / 7
Calculating this division, we get:
Weight of each golf ball ≈ 1.14 ounces
So, each golf ball weighs approximately 1.14 ounces when rounded to the nearest hundredth of an ounce.
