Harriet works at the Mint, where new coins are made. Old and fake coins are also destroyed there. Harriet has 10 bags of $1 coin

s. All 10 bags contain the same number of coins. Harriet knows that nine bags contain only good coins and that one bag contains only fake coins. The fake coins are all about 0.5 gram short. Harriet has forgotten which bag contains the fake coins.
Harriet has a set of scales for weighing like the ones in the illustration. What is the lowest number of times she can weigh bags on the scales in order to find the bag of fake coins?

Answer:

3 times

Step-by-step explanation:

She would have to weigh the fake coins and another bag of real coins to spot a difference, and then she would need to check another bag to see which was correct. Maybe thats right.

First thing First. You must find have a common denominator. If you want to find it then you do this

3: 3 6 9 12 15 18 21
7: 7 14 21 28

Once you found a number they have in common (21) You do this next

3/7 * 3/3 = 9/21
2/3 * 7/7 = 14/21

Now the next thing you do is subtract your numerators but not the denominators

14-9=5

5/12

you cant simplified so your done! Hope this helps!!!!  <span />
