Cora weighs 4 new, identical pencils and a ruler. The total weight of these items is 55 grams. She weighs
the ruler by itself and it weighs 19 grams. How much does each pencil weigh?

Respuesta :

Answer:

total weight - weight of ruler

55-19= 36g

so the pencils weigh 36g in total

but there are 4 pencils and they asked how much each pencil weighed.

so we say 36÷4= 9g

each pencil weighs 9g

Step-by-step explanation:

check: 9+9+9+9+19 = 55g
