Respuesta :

405/50=8.1grams
if asked to simplify the answer would be 8 grams per coin
Data:

$50 dollars in bills → 50 coins of one dollar

Estimate the mass of one dollar coin
Solving:

50 coins → 405 grams
1 coin → x

The rule of three

50*x = 405*1
50x = 405
[tex]x = \frac{405}{50} [/tex]
[tex]x = 8,1 [/tex]
We have:

[tex]\boxed{x \approx 8grams/coin}[/tex]
