Question: 205

9. Each of Chris's golf balls weighs 0.045 kilograms. A bag containing 12 golf balls weighs 0.62 kilograms. How many kilograms does the bag weigh by itself?

  • A. 0.045
  • B. 0.08
  • C. 0.575
  • D. 0.581

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

The answer is B

First determine how much 12 golf balls weigh: 12 × 0.045 = 0.54. Then, subtract that weight from the combined weight of the bag and the 12 balls for the weight of the bag: 0.62 – 0.54 = 0.08 kilograms.
