Solution

To find the average mass of a single penny, you would divide the total mass of the 10 pennies by the number of pennies.

Here's the step-by-step calculation:

  1. The total mass of the 10 pennies is given as 28.676 g.
  2. The number of pennies is 10.
  3. Divide the total mass by the number of pennies to find the average mass of a single penny.

So, 28.676 g ÷ 10 = 2.8676 g

Therefore, the average mass of a single penny is 2.8676 g.
