If you place one staple on an electronic balance, the balance still reads 0.0 grams. However, if you place 210 staples on the balance, it reads 6.80 grams. What is the mass of one staple?

mass of 1 staple = 6.8 g/210 staples mass of 1 staple = 0.032380952 g Hope that helps!!

210/6.8 = 1/x
210x = 6.8
x = 0.03238 grams = 32.4 milligrams

The mass of one staple can be calculated by dividing the total mass of 210 staples (6.80 grams) by the number of staples. This gives a mass per staple of approximately 0.03238 grams.
