Answer 1

You need to start with the following information:

• Coins are weighed in grams. A US nickel weighs 5.0 gm; a current Canadian nickel is 3.95 gm.
• A US ounce is 28.35 gm

That means 1 US ounce of:

• American nickels is 28.35 / 5.0 = 6 coins (rounded to the nearest whole number); the value is US$0.30
• Canadian nickels is 28.35 / 3.95 = 7 coins (also rounded); the value is CDN$0.35

Answer 2

A Canadian nickel weighs 4.3 grams, so one Canadian dollar in nickels weighs 86 grams (20 x 4.3 grams).

A US nickel weighs 5.0 grams so one US dollar in nickels weighs 100 grams (20 x 5)

Answer 3

US nickels weigh 5.00 gm so 2000 would weigh 5 * 2000 = 10000 gm, or 10 kg.

Current Canadian nickels weigh 3.95 gm; 2000*3.95 = 7900 gm, or 7.9 kg.

Answer 4

A US nickel weighs 77.1617918 grains (5 grams), and a Canadian nickel weighs 66.3591409 grains (4.3 grams)
