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.
Since there are 3 balls, we divide the total mass by 3:
6 3/10 / 3 = 6.3 / 3 = 2.1
Therefore, the mass of one ball is 2.1 grams.
make it a fraction
To find the mass of one ball in fraction form, we can divide the total mass by the number of balls.
The total mass of the three balls is 6 3/10 grams, which can be written as an improper fraction: 63/10.
Since there are 3 balls, we divide the total mass by 3:
(63/10) ÷ 3 = (63/10) × (1/3) = 63/30 = 21/10
Therefore, the mass of one ball is 21/10 grams.
simple it
Apologies for the confusion. To find the mass of one ball in simplest form:
We have a total mass of 6 3/10 grams for the 3 balls.
To find the mass of 1 ball, we divide the total mass by 3:
(6 3/10) ÷ 3 = 6.3 ÷ 3 = 2.1
Therefore, the mass of one ball is 2 1/10 grams.
