A student measures the mass of an object with a scale several times, resulting in an average mass m = 11.29 grams. Another student points out that the scale was not “zeroed”, or calibrated to read zero mass with no object on it, before the object was weighed. Without a load, the scale reads 0.08 grams. No one has used the scale since the last measurement.  c) What is the correct mass of the object?
