Scott weighed samples of different kind of soil. Sample A weighed 3 ounces. Sample B weighed 814 thousandths of an ounce more than sample A. what decimal should Scott use to record the weight of sample B?
If A = 3, then B = 3.814 oz.
To find the weight of sample B, we need to add 814 thousandths of an ounce to the weight of sample A.
Since sample A weighs 3 ounces, we first need to convert 814 thousandths of an ounce into decimal form.
To do this, divide 814 by 1000:
814 / 1000 = 0.814
So, 814 thousandths of an ounce is equivalent to 0.814 ounces.
To find the weight of sample B, we add 0.814 to the weight of sample A:
3 + 0.814 = 3.814
Therefore, the decimal Scott should use to record the weight of sample B is 3.814.
