The weight of 72 identical marbles is 183.6 grams. What is the weight of each marble? Explain how you know the decimal point of your quotient placed reasonably.



Answer :


Each marble is about 2.55 kilograms because if you divide how many grams by how many marbles you get 2.55 which is the amount of each marble.

The weight of each marble is 2.55 grams

Further explanation

The marble is a small spherical toy often made from glass, clay, steel, plastic or agate. Marble balls vary in size. They are most about 13 mm (1⁄2 in) in diameter, but they may range from less than 1 mm (1⁄30 in) to over 8 cm (3 in). Whereas some art glass marbles for display purposes are over 30 cm (12 in) wide.

The weight of 72 identical marbles is 183.6 grams. What is the weight of each marble?

The weight of each marble is:

[tex]\frac{183.6}{72} = 2.55 grams[/tex]

How I know the decimal point of your quotient placed reasonably. To divide a decimal by a power of ten (10, 100, 1,000, etc.), we can count the number of zeros in the divisor. Then, we can move the decimal point in the dividend that number of decimal places to the left, this will be the quotient. After we move the decimal point one place to the left in the dividend, this is will be the quotient.
