Question (1 point) Astronauts use a tool in space that weighs 5 ounces on Earth. How many grams does the tool weigh? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. The tool weighs grams.

1 answer

To convert ounces to grams, you can use the conversion factor: 1 ounce is approximately equal to 28.3495 grams.

Given that the tool weighs 5 ounces, you can calculate its weight in grams as follows:

\[ 5 \text{ ounces} \times 28.3495 \text{ grams/ounce} = 141.738 \text{ grams} \]

Now, rounding to the nearest hundredth:

\[ 141.738 \text{ grams} \approx 141.74 \text{ grams} \]

So, the tool weighs 141.74 grams.
