Gemstones are weighed in carats, with 1 carat 200 mg (exactly). What is the mass in grams of the Hope Diamond, the world’s largest blue diamond at 44.4 carats? What is this mass in ounces?
Added by Nathan F.
Step 1
Given that 1 carat is exactly 200 mg, we can calculate the mass in mg by multiplying the number of carats by 200 mg/carat. \[ \text{Mass in mg} = 44.4 \, \text{carats} \times 200 \, \text{mg/carat} \] Show more…
