Question
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?(1 point)
Responses
To find the mass of one ball, we divide the total mass of the 3 balls by 3.
Given that the total mass of the 3 balls is 6 3/10 grams, we can write it as a mixed fraction: 6 + 3/10 = 6 + 3/10 = 63/10.
Now, we divide 63/10 by 3 to find the mass of one ball:
(63/10) ÷ 3 = (63/10) × (1/3) = 63/30 = 2 3/10.
Therefore, the mass of one ball is 2 3/10 grams.
no it's 2 1/10
Apologies for the mistake. You are correct.
(63/10) ÷ 3 = (63/10) × (1/3) = 63/30 = 2 1/10.
Therefore, the mass of one ball is 2 1/10 grams.
