Answer:
The smaller number is 240.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question says that the larger number is 300, so 5 has to be 300.
4:5
?:300
You can use cross-multiplication or find the scale factor to find the answer.
Cross-multiplication:
4 × 300 ÷ 5 = 240
Finding the scale factor:
300 ÷ 5 = 60
4 × 60 = 240
The smaller number is 240.
The question is worded incorrectly. It should say the DENSITY of water is 62 1/2 lbs per cubic foot. Divide the weight by the density to get volume.
(150 lbs) / (62.5 lbs/ft3) = ? ft3 (the two 3's are exponents. so it'd be ft then an exponent of 3.)
X<3 I think is your answer
8x4=32
32+40=72
72/2=36
36+6=42
The number is 42
