You can approximate the weight of the silver as follows:</p><p><br /></p><p>1.24:X = 2.50:.07234</p><p><br /></p><p>1.24 times .07234 divided by 2.50 = X</p><p><br /></p><p>.0897016 divided by 2.50 = .0358806</p><p><br /></p><p>So, the approximate weight of the silver is .03588 oz.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
