6.1
6.9
7.0

Contribution by isotope 6 = 6 x 1 = 6
contribution by isotope 7 = 7 x 12.5 = 87.5
This contribution is made by 1 + 12.5 = 13.5 atoms
Relative atomic mass of = 87.5 + 6 = 93.5/13.5 = 6.9
contribution by isotope 7 = 7 x 12.5 = 87.5
This contribution is made by 1 + 12.5 = 13.5 atoms
Relative atomic mass of = 87.5 + 6 = 93.5/13.5 = 6.9
