Answer:

Only 1 Time

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you know that one coin is fake and that the coin is lighter than the rest , then you would only need to weigh all the coins together 1 time to ensure that you will find the fake coin. We can determine this by doing the following.

<u>Example:</u>

Lets say we have 100 coins that weigh 1 gr each. Meaning that the total weight of the 100 coins would be (100coins*1gr = 100gr) <em><u>IF</u></em> there are no fake coins in the batch.

Knowing this we can weigh the entire batch 1 time and if the total weight is less than 100gr we know that the fake coin is in that batch.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

Does a=2.1 b=7.2 c=7.5 form a right triangle
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

If the longest side squared is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides then they form a right triangle

longest side = 7.5

7.5² = 56.25

2.1² + 7.2² = 4.41 + 51.84 = 56.25

Thus the 3 values form a right triangle.
