To find the weight of the mystery substance (m), we need to solve the equation 12.93 + m = 17.0 for m.
Subtracting 12.93 from both sides of the equation:
m = 17.0 - 12.93
m = 4.07
Tim added 4.07 ounces of the mystery substance (m) to his experiment.
So the correct answer is A) 4.07 ounces.
Subtracting 12.93 from both sides of the equation:
m = 17.0 - 12.93
m = 4.07
Tim added 4.07 ounces of the mystery substance (m) to his experiment.
So the correct answer is A) 4.07 ounces.
