Question

the carat(ct) is a unit of mass used for measuring gemstones and pearls. it is believed that the word comes from Greek for carob seed, because carbo seeds were used to measured jewelry throughout history. in modern times it has been using jewerly measurment, which of the following set up will give the correct converstion for 1.00 troy ounce (t oz) of gold to carat (ct)

24 (g)=1 (dwt)

20(dwt)=1 troy ounce(t oz)

12 (t oz) = 1 troy pound (lb t)

1 (g) =0.0648 (g)

1 carat (ct) =0.200 (g)

a) 1.00 t oz=1lb t=12 toz=20dwt=24g=1ct

b) 1 toz=1dwt=24g=1gr=20dwt=1lbt=1lb t=1ct

c)1.00 t oz=20dwt=24g=1/0.200 ct

c)1.00 toz=24g=1gr=1ct
