three tennis balls have the same mass. if the total mass of the 3 balls is 6 3/10 grams, what is the mass of 1 ball?
To find the mass of one ball, we need to divide the total mass of the three balls by the number of balls.
The total mass of the three balls is 6 3/10 grams, which can also be written as 63/10 grams.
To find the mass of one ball, we divide 63/10 grams by 3 (the number of balls).
(63/10)/3 = 63/10 * 1/3 = (63*1)/(10*3) = 63/30.
Therefore, the mass of one ball is 63/30 grams.
WRONG!!BIM SUEING
Apologies for the confusion earlier. Let's correct the calculation.
The total mass of the three balls is 6 3/10 grams, which is also equal to 6.3 grams.
To find the mass of one ball, we need to divide the total mass by the number of balls. Since there are three balls:
6.3 grams / 3 = 2.1 grams.
Therefore, the mass of one ball is 2.1 grams.
