Answer:
a) 10 pieces of 2/3 pound can be made.
b) 0.54 pounds of wax is left over.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total amount of clear wax available =
pounds
So, the maker has in total 4.5 pounds of wax
Now, The weight of each piece =
pounds
To find the number of pieces that can be made out of 4.5 pounds of wax,
let that number = n
So, 
or, n = 
So, nearly 6 pieces can be made completely out of the clear wax
Left over amount of wax = Total weight - Weights of the pieces made
= 4.5- 6(0.66)
= 0.54 pounds
Hence, 0.54 pounds of wax is left over
The answer is the third option
It would first be 0.7 and then 1.1
Proportionality, assuming constant rate. 460 dives/12 hours = x dives/3 hours. Solve for x.
5x = 20...where x = number of months
x = 20/5
x = 4...it would take Tom 4 months to save $20
