Question

Jeremy has a box of 500 nails that weighs 1.35 kilograms. He uses 60 nails to build a birdhouse. How much do the nails in the birdhouse weigh?

Answer 1

6th grade problem.......yuck

Answer 2

I probably should convert the 1.35

Answer 3

500 nails = 1.35 kg
-----------------
60 nails = x
x = 1.35kg * 60 nails / 500 nails = 0.162 kg
Weight = m * g
Weight = 0.162 * 9.8m/s^2
Weight = 1.59 N

Answer 4

what does N stand for? Excuse my ignorance, we don't use metric in the US

Answer 5

Ok if its 6th grade, i assume ur answer is 0.162 kg

Answer 6
