Answer: A: 656.25 lb

The bag contains 656.25 lb of sand.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A bag contains sand = 10,500 ounces

Also , 1 pound = 16 ounces.

Therefore to convert the given value to pounds, we need to divide the given value of ounces by 16, we get

$10500\text{ ounces}=\dfrac{10500}{16}\\\\\Rightarrow10500\text{ ounces}=656.25\text{pounds}$

Hence, the bag contains 656.25 lb of sand.

Okay so 1 pound = 16 ounces, and there is 10,500 ounces of sand.

Simply divide 10,500 by 16

10,500 / 16 = 656.25.

So your answer would be A.

A farmer needs to ship 71 pumpkins to a grocery store if each crates can hold 19 pumpkins how many crates Will the farmer need ?

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

The farmer will need 7 crates.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that there are 71 pumpkins in total.

And each crate holds 19 pumpkins.

Let the number of crates required be "n".

The total number of pumpkins can be calculated by multiplying number of pumpkins in each crate with total number of crates.

Thus, the equation is

$19(n) = 71$

$n = \frac{71}{19} = 7$

Thus, the farmer needs 7 crates to hold total of 71 pumpkins.

The ratio of the number of dogs the number of cats is 4:5. There are 270 animals on the rescue Farm. The number of dogs is 4/5.

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Here is the complete question:

The ratio of the number of dogs to the number of cats is 4:5. There are 270 animals on the rescue farm. for each of the following statements, explain whether statements is true or false and why:

a. The number of dogs is 4/5 the number of cats.

b. 4/5 of the pets at the farm are dogs.

c. There are exactly 30 more cats than dogs.

d. There are exactly 30 dogs at the farm.

e. 5/9 of the pets at the farm are cats.

a,c and e are true statements.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of dogs be "d' and number of cats be "c".

According to the question:

⇒ $c+d=270$ ...equation (i)

Arranging the ratio:

⇒ $\frac{4}{5} = \frac{d}{c}$

⇒ $4c=5d$

⇒ $c=(\frac{5}{4})d$ ...equation (ii)

Plugging (ii) in equation (i).

⇒ $c+d=270$

⇒ $\frac{5}{4} d+d=270$

⇒ $\frac{5d+4d}{4} =270$

⇒ $9d=270\times 4$

⇒ $d=\frac{270\times 4}{9}$

⇒ $d=120$

Number of dogs "d" = 120

Number of cats "c" = (270-120) = 150

Lets check each statement:

The number of dogs is 4/5 the number of cats.

⇒ $\frac{4}{5} \times 150$

⇒ $\frac{4\times 150}{5}$

⇒ $120$

Statement is true.

4/5 of the pets at the farm are dogs.

⇒ $\frac{4}{5} \times 270$

⇒ $216$

Number of dogs = 120

So the above statement is false.

There are exactly 30 more cats than dogs.

⇒ $c-d =30$

⇒ $150-120=30$

Statement is true.

There are exactly 30 dogs at the farm.

False, as there are 120 dogs

5/9 of the pets at the farm are cats.

⇒ $\frac{5}{9} \times 270$

⇒ $150$

Statement is true.

So,

Statement a,c and e are true as we could observe in the explanation.
