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.

Find the distance between the two points rounding to the nearest tenth (if necessary).
Sergio [31]

Answer:

6.7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points can be found using the formula below:

\boxed{{\text{Distance between 2 points}= \sqrt{(y_1 - y_2)^{2} + (x_1 - x_2)^{2}  } }}

Thus, distance between (-1, 2) and (2, -4)

=  \sqrt{( - 4 - 2)^{2} +  { [2-(-1) ]}^{2}  }

=  \sqrt{ {( - 6)}^{2}  +   {(2 + 1)}^{2} }

=  \sqrt{36 + 9}

=  \sqrt{45}

= 6.7 units (nearest tenth)
