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?(

5 answers

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.
