A 3.456 g sample of iron filings was added to a beaker weighing 83.65 g. What is the combined weight of the beaker and sample in grams (g) and milligrams (mg). Show your work.Explanation / Answer
6.
Area = Length X width
= 28.1 X 22.7
= 637.87 cm2
= 637.9 cm2
7.
1 pound = 0.453 kg
152 pounds = 0.453 X 150 = 68.03 kg
8.
1 ft = 0.3048 m
1 m = 0.001 km
14110 ft = 14110 X 0.3048 = 4300.728 m = 4.3 km
9.
1 g = 1000 mg
Total weight = 3.456 + 83.65 = 87.106 g = 8710.6 mg
