The mass of an average grain of rock salt is about 40
times the mass of an average grain of table salt. If you multiply the mass of table salt in standard notation by 40
, what value do you get?
4.0 x 10^-5 g
To find the value when you multiply the mass of table salt by 40, we need to first know the mass of table salt. The question does not provide this information.
However, once you know the mass of table salt, you can simply multiply it by 40 to get the desired value.
For example, let's assume the mass of a grain of table salt is 1 gram.
So, when you multiply 1 gram by 40, you get a value of 40 grams.
If you have the mass of table salt, just multiply that number by 40 to get your answer.
