First of all, if we have 1 gram of a substance that has 0.52 gram of copper and 0.26 gram of zinc, the remainder will be: 

Since we know that the remaining portion of the material is nickel, we have 0.22 gram of metal.

Now, Ben estimates that 1 gram of the substance has 0.2 gram of nickel. To find how many grams of metal are in 35 grams of the material, we are going to multiply the grams of the substance by the gram of nickel:

We can conclude that according to Ben, 35 grams of the content has 7 grams of metal.

But we know that in 1 gram of the substance are not 0.2 gram of nickel but 0.22. So let's multiply the grams of the material by 0.22 to find the actual grams of nickel in it:

We can conclude that 35 grams of the substance have 7.7 grams of metal.

Solve. −4.2y+2.1>−2.52 Drag and drop a number or symbol into each box to show the solution.
Daniel [21]
Given problem is -4.2y+2.1>-2.52.
To solve this, we combine numbers by transposing -2.52 to the left side and transposing variable term in the right side as shown below:
2.1+2.52>4.2y
Perform addition of values 2.1 and 2.52, 
4.62>4.2y
Then, divide both sides with 4.2 and the result is 1.1>y.
The answer is y<1.1.

a trunk measures 48 inches long 22 and 1/2 feet wide and 32 inches high what is the volume of the box
Whitepunk [10]
The volume is 414,720 in³, which equals 240 ft³.

We need all of the units to be the same.  Since 2 of the 3 measurements are in inches, we will convert the feet to inches.  12 inches = 1 foot, so 
22.5(12) = 270

To find the volume of a rectangular prism (box), multiply the length, width, and height:
270(48)(32) = 414,720 in³

If we want this in cubic feet, we need to know first that 1 ft³ is a cube with side length 1 ft = 12 inches.  This means that the volume is 12*12*12 = 1728 in³.  Therefore there are 1728 in³ in 1 ft³:
414720/1728 = 240 ft³
