Answer 3

I think we can rule out option C because 9kg or 9000 g is almost 20 pounds. That does not sound like a nugget.

Answer 4

with mass i believe your looking for kg right?

Answer 5

@AQ99 I am thinking A or B.

9.67 grams is roughly .0213187 pounds.

9 grams is roughly .0198 pounds.

Answer 6

I don't know how big a nugget is.

Answer 7

I am in between A and B too :( I have been at it for the past 3 hours :'/

Answer 9

9 g and 9.67 g is not much a difference

so idk either

Answer 10

it seems like it shouldn't matter because nuggets vary in size and that difference isn't that big

Answer 11

Eh Im gonna go out on a limb here and say 9.67 g

Answer 12

Wow yep it was 9.67 g ! 100% :D

Answer 13

sure why not

unless there's more info (like a statistical chart or something), then that's all you can do

Answer 14

@AQ99 Congratualtions!

Answer 15
