Marie bought a bag of 36 marbles. The bag weighed 2.7 pounds. To the nearest tenth of a pound, how much did each marble weigh?



Answer :

Answer:

Each marble weighed 0.1 pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total 36 marbles must weigh 2.7 pounds, so each marble will take up a portion of that weight. Assuming all the marbles are the same weight, then each will take up a 36th of the total 2.7 pounds.

Rounding to nearest tenth, 0.075 ≈ 0.1
