Given that a chain weighs 8 pounds per foot.

We to find the weight in ounces per 5 inches.

It is known that 1 foot is equal to 12 inches and 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces.

Given that the weight is 8 pounds per foot.

$\begin{gathered} 8\text{pounds per foot}=8\text{ pounds per 12 inches} \\ =16\times8\text{ ounces per 12 inches} \\ =128\text{ ounces per 12 inches} \\ =10.6\text{ ounces per inch} \\ =10.6\times5\text{ ounces per 5 inches} \\ =53\text{ ounces per 5 inches} \end{gathered}$

Thus, the answer is 53 ounces in 5 inches.

parker correctly answered 70% of the questions on his math test. If he answered 35 questions correctly, how many questions were

Alexandra [31]

Let the total number of questions in the math test be defined by the variable x.

Now, we know that Parker correctly answered 35 questions. These 35 questions make 70% of the total number of questions on his math test.

The information we have above can be expressed as an equation given below:

70% of x=35

This can be rewritten as:

$\frac{70}{100}x=35$

Thus, to find the total number of questions we will have to isolate x.

$\therefore x=\frac{35\times 100}{70}=50$

Therefore, there were a total of 50 questions in the math test.

An office building has two elevators. One elevator starts out on the 4th floor, 35 feet above the ground, as it’s defending at a

iren2701 [21]

The system of equations are y = 35 - 2.2x and y = 1.7x

Solution:

Given that, office building has two elevators.

One elevator starts out on the 4th floor, 35 feet above the ground, as it’s descending at a rate of 2.2 feet per second

Let "x" be the number of seconds for which the elevator is descending

Therefore, for "x" seconds the descended feet is 2.2x feet

The elevator is at 4 th floor, 35 feet above ground

Therefore, from 35 feet, the elevator has descended 2.2x feet for "x" seconds

Let "y" be the final position of elevator after "x" seconds

Therefore,

y = 35 - 2.2x

The other elevator starts out at ground level and is rising at a rate of 1.7 feet per second

Here, the elevator is rising at a rate of 1.7 feet per second

Therefore, for "x" seconds, the elevator has raised 1.7x feet

Here the elevator is at ground level, therefore

y = 1.7x

Thus the system of equations are y = 35 - 2.2x and y = 1.7x
