Answer 1

Answer: The mass in grams for a 9.50 carat diamond is 1.9.

Explanation:

Given :

The mass of gemstones and pearls is usually expressed in units called carats.

we have to find mass in grams for 9.50 carat diamond.

1 carat = 200 mg

Thus 9.50 carat=$\frac{200}{1}\times 9.50=1900mg$

Also $1 mg =10^{-3}g$

Thus  $1900mg =\frac{10^{-3}}{1}\times 1900=1.9g$

Thus the mass in grams for a 9.50 carat diamond is 1.9
