Gold Doubloons

1

Until 1728, doubloons weighed 6.867 grams.
After 1728, they weighed 6.766 grams.

You have a scale that measures weight to the
nearest tenth of a gram.

Was the doubloon on the scale made before or after 1728?

1

If you had a scale that measured to the nearest gram, explain why you would not be able to tell what year the doubloon was made based on the weight listed on the scale.

1

Which doubloons weigh more, the ones made before 1728 or the ones made after 1728? Explain or show your reasoning.

1

Show the weights of the doubloons on the number line.

1

Use the number line to find which hundredth of a gram the doubloon weights are each closest to.
