OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

Convert 6centimeters to meters

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

0.06m = 30grams

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

6cm = 0.06m

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

We need to find the number that gives us the product of 8m when multiplied by 0.06m, then multiply that same number by 30grams

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

0.06x = 8

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

x = 133.3333333

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

Divide 8 by 0.06

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

Then multiply 30grams by 133.3333333 and you get 4000grams

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

8m of the wire equals 4000grams
