If the 5 of them weigh 1/4 of a ton
then 1 of them weigh x
5/1 = 1/4//x Do you see what happens? Just by writing down the givens you get a proportion. It will work better for you if you change the 1/4 to 0.25
5/1 = 0.25/x Now it looks like an ordinary proportion. Cross multiply
5x = 0.25*1 divide by 5
x = 0.25/5
x = 0.05 tons. We better change this to pounds.
1 ton = 2000 pounds
0.05 ton = x
1/0.05 = 2000/x Cross multiply
x = 2000 * 0.05
x = 100 pounds.
Answer:
748 in^3.
Step-by-step explanation:
This consists of a triangular prism and a rectangular cuboid .
Volume of the prism = .1/2 * 8 *11 * 17 = 748 in^3
Volume of the cuboid = 5*8*17 = 680 in^3
Therefore the volume of the whole figure
= 680 + 748 = 1428 in^3.
The answer would be 3 to 1 as there are 3 dogs and 1 cat and the question asks for the ratio of dogs to cats.
I think its b but im not sure
