Video transcript

Hi everyone today, we have a question telling us that a Philippine five peso coin has a mass of 7.40 g. A stack of five peso coins has a total mass of 4. kg, calculate the total value of the stack of coins. So we know that the five peso coin has a mass of 7.4 g And we know that one kg Equals 10 to the 3rd g. So we're going to start off with our 4. kg And we're going to multiply that by 10 to the 3rd g over one kg. And we're going to multiply that by one coin Over 7.40 g. And we're going to multiply that by five pesos over one coin. So are kilograms are canceling out. Our grams are canceling out and our coins are canceling out, leaving us with pesos and that equals 2800 pesos. And that is our final answer. Thank you for watching. Bye.
