Let p = weight of papaya and g = weight of grapes.

Then (3/4)g = (3/5)p.  Since the weight of grapes is x + 28, 

(3/4)(x + 28) = (3/5)p.  We must solve for x.  To do this, mult. both sides by (5/3):

(5/3)(3/4)(x+28) = (5/3)(3/5)p

Then p = (15/9)(x+28), or (after reduction), p = (5/3)(x+28).

The density of a certain material is such that it weighs 9 kilograms for every 7 cubic feet of volume. Express this density in p
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

1.641× 10^-3 pounds/ cubic inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Density= mass / volume

Mass of the material= 9 kilograms

Volume= 7 cubic feet

Density= 9/7= 1.286 kg/ ft^3

Density= 1.286 kg/ ft^3

To Convert to pounds per inch

1 kg/ ft^3 = 0.00128 pound / cubic inch

1.286 kg/ ft^3 = X pounds/ cubic inch

X=( 1.286 × 0.00128)

= 0.0016407087 pounds/ cubic inch

= 1.641× 10^-3 pounds/ cubic inch

Hence,this density in pounds per inch is 1.641× 10^-3 pounds/ cubic inch

Vikentia [17]
You can use 10 blocks by having 1 ten and 6 ones and then divide it into groups of 3 when you do that you are kind of subtracting when you take away 3 away each time. After that you multiply it, so you think of whatever times 3 is 16 which is 15 r1. Then your answer should be 30.
