A) 0.1 g
B) 0.01 g
C) 0.5 g
D) 0.05 g

Answer 1

The mass of the coin to the nearest tenth of a gram is 0.1 g.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mass of a coin to the nearest tenth of a gram is a concept covered in the subject of mathematics. When rounding measurements to the nearest tenth, one looks at the hundredths place to determine whether to round up or down. Given that 'one-tenth g is 0.1 g', the nearest tenth would be in increments of 0.1 g. The provided options are A) 0.1 g, B) 0.01 g, C) 0.5 g, and D) 0.05 g. Because 0.01 g and 0.05 g are less than one-tenth and 0.5 g is greater than one-tenth, the correct answer by process of elimination and matching the requirement for the nearest tenth of a gram is 0.1 g.
