Question

Jeff buys 3/4 pound of beads. 1/6 of the beads are pink and the rest are green. Jeff packs the green beads equally into 10 jars. What is the weight of beads in each jar? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The weight of green beans in each jar is 1/16 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Total weight of beads = 3/4 pounds

Weight of pink beads = 1/6 × 3/4 pounds = 1/8 pounds

Weight of green beads = 3/4 - 1/8 = 5/8 pounds

Total weight of green beads in 10 jars = 5/8 pounds

Weight of green beads in each jar = 5/8 ÷ 10 = 5/8 × 1/10 = 1/16 pounds

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Pound can be decribed as a unit of mass.

Mass of total beads = 3/4 pounds.

Pink beads = 1/6 * total beads

= 1/6 * 3/4

= 1/8 pounds of pink beads.

Green beads = (1 - 1/6) * total beads

= 5/6 * 3/4

= 5/8 pounds of green beads.

Green beads were packed equally into 10 jars.

In 1 jar, (5/8)/10

= 1/16 pounds of green beads in 1 jar.

Weight of green beads (in N),

1 pound of mass = 4.448 N

Therefore, (1/16) = 0.0625 pounds of green beads to Newton;

= 4.448*0.0625

= 0.278 N.
