To find out how many thumbtacks are in the box, first convert the total mass of the box from grams to ounces using a conversion factor. Then, divide the total weight of the box in ounces by the weight of one thumbtack.
To answer the question about the number of thumbtacks in a box totaling 3500g in mass, we first need to convert the total mass of the box to the same units as the mass per thumbtack, in this case, ounces.
From the relationship, we know that 1 oz = 28.349 g. We can convert the mass of the box into ounces by multiplying the grams by the unit conversion factor. So the weight of the box in ounces is 3500 g * (1 oz / 28.349 g).
To find the number of thumbtacks in the box, then divide the total weight of the box in ounces by the weight of one thumbtack in ounces (0.25 oz).
