Question

5p coins weigh approximately 3 grams.
what would be the weight of £5 worth of 5p cions?
give your answer in kg.

Answer 1

We know that,

£1= 100 pence

£5= 100 × 5 pence = 500 pence

According to the question, we have 500 pence worth of 5 pence coins. And, each coin weighs 3g

Therefore, total number of coins = 500 ÷ 5 coins = 100 coins

Then, total weight of 100 coins = 300g = 0.3 kg

Ans) £5 worth of 5 pence coins weigh 0.3 kg.
