How do I explain and show the work for a math word problem of If the baby was 8 lbs. 9 oz. and doubled her weight the first six

months

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:

1. so (1,-10) passes both equations

2.  The dotted line is the line y > -x+3  and the solid line is y ≤ 2x -2

3.  The solid line is the line y≤ -x+2  and the other solid line is y ≤ -3x +2

Step-by-step explanation:

y≤x-5

y≤-x-4

Substitute the points in and see if they work

(1,10)

10 ≤1-5   10  ≤-4  False

10 ≤-1-4  10 ≤-5  False

so (1,10) Fails both equations

(-1,10)

10 ≤-1-5   10 ≤-6  False

10 ≤1-4  10 ≤-3  False

so (-1,10) Fails both equations

(10,1)

1 ≤10-5   1  ≤5  True

1 ≤-10-4  1 ≤-14  False

so (10,1) Fails one equations

(1,-10)

-10 ≤1-5   -10 ≤-4  True

-10 ≤-1-4  -10 ≤-5  True

so (1,-10) passes both equations

2.  The dotted line is the line y > -x+3  and the solid line is y ≤ 2x -2

The dotted line means less than or greater than.  It is shaded above so it is greater than.  The y intercept is 3.  The slope is down 1 to the right one (-1/1)  y> -x+3

The solid line means greater than or equal to   or less than or equal to.  Since it is shaded below it means less than or equal to.  The y intercept is -2.  The slope is up 2 to the right one (2/1)  y≥ 2x-2

3.  The solid line is the line y≤ -x+2  and the other solid line is y ≤ -3x +2

The solid line means greater than or equal to   or less than or equal to.  It is shaded below so it is less than or equal.  The y intercept is 2.  The slope is down 1 to the right one (-1/1) y≤ -x+2

The solid line means greater than or equal to   or less than or equal to.  Since it is shaded below it means less than or equal to.  The y intercept is 2.  The slope is down 3 to the right one (-3/1)  y ≤ -3x +2

An AutoCAD drawing has a scale of 1/2 inches to 3 ft. If a piece of a bridge measures 17 ft, how long is that piece in the AutoC
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

It will be 2.83 inches long on the drawing

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale we have is;

0.5 in to 3 ft

This;

x in to 17

17 * 0.5 = 3 * x

8.5 = 3x

x = 8.5/3

x = 2.83 inches
