If there are 400 ounces in 25 pounds, how many ounces are in 8 pounds

Answer: 128 ounces

Step-by-step explanation: To convert 8 pounds into ounces, we will first need to find the conversion factor for pounds and ounces.

Conversion factor ⇒ <em>16 ounces = 1 pound</em>

<em />

Next, notice that we are going from a larger unit "pounds" to a smaller unit "ounces." When we go from a larger unit to a smaller unit we multiply.

In this case, we will multiply 8 pounds by the conversion factor which is 16 and this will gives us 128 ounces.

This means that 8 pounds is equal to 128 ounces.

The answer is:  " 128 oz. " . 
_________________________________________________________
There are:  " 128 oz. " (in " 8 lbs." ) .
_________________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________________
Set up a proportion;  as a fraction; as follows:
________________________________________________________

 400/ 25  = x / 8 ; 

in which:  "x" = the number of "ounces [oz.] there are in "8 lbs." ;
________________________________________________________
We shall solve for "x" , the answer to the problem:

Cross-factor multiply:

25x = (400) * 8 ; 

→ 25x = 3200 ; 

Divide each side of the equation by "25" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ; 

→ 25x / 25 = 3200 / 25 ; 

→  x = 128 .
_________________________________________________________
Answer:  " 128 oz. " . 
_________________________________________________________
There are:  " 128 oz. " (in " 8 lbs." ) .
_________________________________________________________

Note of interest:  " 16 oz. =  1 lb. " (exact conversion). 

So;  "8 lbs.  <span>=  ?</span>  oz. " ; 

→  " 8 lbs. * (16 oz/ 1 lb)  =   ( 8 * 16) oz.  =  128 oz. ;  →  which is our answer!

Sandra's scores on the first 4 tests were 87%, 92%, 76%,and 89%. What is the minimum score she needs to make on the fifth test s
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Sandra need to score at least <u>56%</u> in her fifth test so that her average is 80%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

First 4 test scores = 87%, 92%, 76%,89%

Average targeted = 80%

We need to find the minimum score she needs to make on fifth test to achieve average of at least 80%.

Solution:

Let the minimum score she needs to make in fifth test be 'x'.

Total number of test = 5

Now we know that;

Average is equal to sum of all the scores in the test divided by number of test.

framing in equation form we get;

\frac{87+92+76+89+x}{5}=80

Multiplying both side by 5 we get;

\frac{344+x}{5}\times 5=80\times 5\\\\344+x=400

Subtracting both side by 344 we get;

344+x-344=400-344\\\\x=56\%

Hence Sandra need to score at least <u>56%</u> in her fifth test so that her average is 80%.

x=\frac{-{\color{#e8710a}{b}} \pm \sqrt{{\color{#e8710a}{b}}^{2}-4{\color{#c92786}{a}}{\color{#129eaf}{c}}}}{2{\color{#c92786}{a}}}

x=2a−b±b2−4ac

Once in standard form, identify a, b and c from the original equation and plug them into the quadratic formula.
