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

with mass i believe your looking for kg right?

directrix · Answer

@AQ99  I am thinking A or B.

9.67 grams is roughly .0213187 pounds.

9 grams is roughly .0198 pounds.

9 g and 9.67 g is not much a difference

so idk either

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

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