8% of starch of 4 lbs of sampling is .32lbs
Convert lbs to grams.
Set a proportion: 1lb/453.592g=.32lbs/x (grams)
X=(453.592)(.32)=145.15grams

If it is a 32:1 then the answer is somewhere around 6.125 inches

32 : 1 = 196 : X

The difference of twice a number and 4 is 16 .

german

Answer:

Let X be the number.

Twice the number would be 2x

The difference between the two, would be subtraction, so you would subtract 4 from 2x

The equation becomes 2x-4 = 16

Now solve for x:

2x-4 = 16

Add 4 to each side:

2x = 20

Divide both sides by 2:

x = 20/2

x = 10

The number is 10.
