BRAINLIEST TO BEST ANSWER There are ten numbered bags on the table with ten coins in each bag. The coins in one of the bags are fake. A real coin weighs 10 grams, and a fake coin weighs 9 grams. How do you find the bag that contains the fake coins with just one weighing?

Respuesta :

Answer:

  • There are 10 bags.
  • 9 of the bags have real coins, 1 bag has fakes.
  • A real coin weighs 10 g, a fake coin weighs 9 g.

Take 1 coin from the first bag, 2 coins from the 2nd bag, 3 coins from the 3rd bag, 4 coins......., 5 coins............,  .........10 coins.......

If there are no fakes at all, the total weight should be: 550 grams.

If the weight is 545 grams, there would be 5 fakes, and so the fake bag would be Bag 5. (because there is a 5 gram difference)

I hope this helps!
