The answer is 9
12 ounces x
--------------- = ----------------
10 pounds of soil 120 pounds of soil
Set the equation up as a proportion and solve for x:
10x = 1440
---- -----
10 10
x = 144 ounces
The question asks for the answer in pounds, and 16 ounces = 1 pound.
144/16 = 9
Answer:
(a)The amount of fuel in dollars = $1.62
(b)The rate equivalent to in U.S. dollars per gallon = $ 1.45
Step-by-step explanation:
Reid will be driving through Spain this summer. He did some research and knows that the average price of gas in Spain is approximately 1.12 euros per liter.
1 USD = 0.69 euros
We have to find the money that we should pay in order to get the same amount of fuel.
1 euro = 
1 euro = $1.45
So 1.12 euros = 1.12
1.45 = $1.62
(a)The amount of fuel in dollars = $1.62
(b)The rate equivalent to in U.S. dollars per gallon = $ 1.45
Answer:
43.66
Step-by-step explanation:
Just calculate 59% of 74
This question is asking for a list of fractions, that when you pull out common factors, they will all simplify back to the 8/5 fraction.
So if 2 is the common factor, you multiply the numerator and denominator by 2.
2: (8*2)/(5*2)= 16/10
3: (8*3)/5*3)= 24/15
4: (8*4)/(5*4)= 32/20
5: (8*5)/(5*5)= 40/25
10: (8*10)/5*10)= 80/50
Eloise's Potential List:
16/10, 24/15, 32/20, 40/25, 80/50
If you simplify any of these fractions above, you will get 8/5 again.
To work backwards:
80/50: 10 goes into 80, 10 goes into 50= 8/5
16/10: 2 goes into 16, 2 goes into 10= 8/5
Hope this helps! :)
