Using proportions, it is found that the total amount of cement, sand, and gavel required is of 55.2 cubic yards.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct(when both increase or both decrease) or inverse proportional(when one increases and the other decreases, or vice versa), can be built to find the desired measures in the problem, or equations to find these measures.

The decimal equivalent to the mixed number 1 1/2 is given by:

1 + 1/2 = 1 + 0.5 = 1.5.

1.5 times 36.8 cubic yards is:

1.5 x 36.8 = 55.2.

The total amount of cement, sand, and gavel required is of 55.2 cubic yards.

ESTIMATE.137,638 +52,091
OverLord2011 [107]

In order to estimate this problem we must first estimate the two numbers involved.

137,638 rounds up to 138,000.

Since the 6 is bigger than 5 it makes the number 7 round up to 8

Now..

52,091 rounds out to 52,000

Since the number to the left of the 2 is not bigger than 5 then it stays the same at 52,000

Now we have to add our estimated numbers.

138,000 + 52,000 = 190,000

Your answer is 190,000

Good Luck! :)

Please answer number 3.
Alenkasestr [34]

I can't exactly SHOW you where to put the numbers, but I can teach you the process of how you'd do it.

First off, label your number line from 0-15, as it is the simplest. (You'd be counting by 1 per each line). Then, follow this process:

1) Look at the first digit of your value. Place your number according to your first digit. (So, you'd put 0.365 at the 0 line and 3.521 at the 3 line)

2) Look at the second digit of your value. Imagine that between the two main lines (0-1 and 3-4) that there is 10 smaller lines. Then, you can place your number according to your second digit. (So, you'd put 0.365 at the 0.3 line and 3.521 at the 3.5 line).

3) Look at the third digit of your value. Imagine that between the two smaller lines (0.3-0.4 and 3.5-3.6) that there is 10 smaller lines. Then, you can place your number according to your third digit. (So, you'd put 0.365 at the 0.36 line and 3.521 at the 3.52 line).

4) Look at the fourth digit of your value. Imagine that between the two even smaller lines (0.36-0.37 and 3.52-3.53) that there is 10 smaller lines. Then, you can place your number according to your fourth digit. (So you'd place 0.365 at the 0.365 line and 3.521 at the 3.521 line)
