Question

Jensen is building a snow fort. Each block in the fort weighs about 1 kilogram. Jensen hopes to make about 40 blocks for
the fort. If a snowflake weighs about 3 x 10 grams, approximately how many snowflakes will be in the fort?

Answer 1

Answer:

Approximately 13,333,333 snowflakes (rounded)

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Blocks = 40

Each Block weight = 1 kg = 1000 grams

Total weight of all 40 blocks = 1000*40 = 40,000 grams

Now, given each snowflakes weight to be  $3*10^{-3}$ grams, or 0.003 grams

The number of snowflakes will be:

40,000/0.003 = 13333333.33 flakes

Approximately 13333333 snowflakes (rounded)
