Solve for the following:

[tex]\[ 12 \, \text{dag} - 5 \, \text{g} - 7 \, \text{g} = \][/tex]

Select one of the following:

A. 15 dag 6 g

B. 18 dag 3 g

C. 11 dag 8 g

D. 10 dag 10 g



Answer :

Sure! Let's break down each part of the expression and solve it step-by-step to find the total weight in decagrams (dag) and grams (g).

### Step-By-Step Solution:

1. Understanding the given units and operations:
- 1 dag (decagram) = 10 g (grams).
- The expression includes a multiplication represented by "[tex]$", subtraction with "5 g - 7 g". 2. Initial Conversion: - We start with 12 dag. - Converting 12 dag to grams: \[ 12 \times 10 = 120 \text{ grams} \] 3. Performing Multiplication: - The next part of the expression is "$[/tex] 5 g", which means 5 grams will be multiplied, assuming it’s conversion in calculations.
- Converts 5 grams to decagrams for calculations:
[tex]\[ 5 \times 10 = 50 \text{ grams} \][/tex]

4. Subtraction:
- The last part of the expression is "subtract 7 grams".
- Performing the subtraction in one flow:
[tex]\[ 120 \text{ grams} - 50 \text{ grams} - 7 \text{ grams} = 63 \text{ grams} \][/tex]

5. Final Conversion and Result:
- Convert the remaining result back to dag and grams:
[tex]\[ 63 \text{ grams} = 6 \text{ dag} \, 3 \text{ grams} \][/tex]

### Conclusion:
- Therefore, the final result when we evaluate the given expression is:
[tex]\[ 6 \text{ dag} \, 3 \text{ g} \][/tex]

Comparing this result to the given options, we find that it matches with none of the provided options. It is possible that there was a mistake in the provided options. However, our calculated result remains as:

6 dag 3 g
