Answer:

5 lb 11⅓ oz

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert the weight at birth from pound and ounces to just ounces.

8 lb × 16 oz/lb + 9 oz = 137 oz

The baby doubles its weight in the first six months.  That means its weight increases by 137 oz over 6 months.  To find how much weight was gained in 4 months, write a proportion.

137 / 6 = x / 4

6x = 548

x = 91 ⅓

The baby gained 91 ⅓ oz in 4 months, or 5 lb 11⅓ oz.

Answer:

7.1 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal of a cube connects two opposite corners.

You can use the diagonal of a cube in a right triangle in which it is the hypotenuse. The legs of the triangle are a diagonal of a face and an edge.

Let the length of the edge be s.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

s^2 + 10^2 = (\sqrt{150})^2

s^2 + 100 = 150

s^2 = 50

s = \sqrt{50}

s = 5\sqrt{2}

s = 7.1

Answer: 7.1 cm

Will, Mike, and Sue went to dinner. Will paid 1/3 of the dinner bill. Micah and Sue paid in the ratio 2:3. If Sue paid $6 more t
raketka [301]
Let's call their parts w,m and s

if will paid 1/3, then m+s=2w (they paid 2/3, which is twice as much as will did)

Now, we know that:
Micah and Sue paid in the ratio 2:3.
this means the 3m=2s

and m=2/3s

Again:
m+s=2w

and we substitute m:
2/3s+s=2w
5/3s=2w// multiply both sides by 3
5s=6w

we also know that s=w+6 (from the last sentence) so we substitute:

5(w+6)=6w
5w+30=6w
30=w

so, Will paid 30, Sue paid 36 (six more than him), Mike paid 24 (24:36 is the same ratio as 2:3, you can check this by dividing both 24 and 36 by 12: you have 2 and 3)

and the total was 30+36+24=90.

What you do is multiply regularly then add the negative sign, but if your multiplying  2 negatives it’s a positive answer. I cant help with the Fractions caz I’m not good at them lol .
