we know that

$1pound$ -------> is equal to ------> $16 ounces$

By proportion

$\frac{1}{16}\frac{pound}{ounces} =\frac{x}{1}\frac{pounds}{ounce} \\ \\ x=\frac{1}{16} pounds$

therefore

the answer is

one ounce is equal to $\frac{1}{16}$ $pounds$

2y(4z)=8yz
each major road of city y you have 4 different routes so if there're 2 routes of city y then double the number of routes and you get 8 different roads to travel in from x to z through y

70 POINTS PLEASE HELP! A dump truck pours sand into a container in the shape of a rectangular prism with a square base of length

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism is:

$V=\ell wh$

Since the prism has a square base, each side length being 2, this means that both the length and width of our prism is 2. Therefore:

$V=(2)(2)h=4h$

So, we can write:

$V=4h$

The height h increases at a rate of about 8 inches or 8/12 = 2/3 feet per minute.

So, after t minutes, the height will be 2/3(t) feet. Thus, we can substitute:

$\displaystyle V=4\Big(\frac{2}{3}\Big)t=\frac{8}{3}t$

We want to find after how long it will be until the volume is 64 cubic feet. So, V = 64:

$\displaystyle 64 = \frac{8}{3} t$

Solve for t:

$\displaystyle t=\frac{3}{8}(64)=3(8)=24\text{ minutes}$

The correct answer is A.

What is 1735/1000 written as a decimal?

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

$\frac{1735}{1000}$ as a decimal is 1.735.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert a fraction into a decimal, you first have to put the fraction into simplest form.

1. Simplest form

$\frac{1735}{1000} = \frac{347}{200}\\\$

To do this you must find a number you can equally divide both numbers by.

That number in this situation, 5.

$1000/5= 200\\1735/5= 347\\1735:1000 = 347:200\\\frac{1735}{1000} =\frac{347}{200}$

Now you must make this simplest formed fraction into a mixed number.

2. Simplest form into Mixed number

$\frac{347}{200}= 1\frac{147}{200}$

To do this you see how many times the denominator, the bottom number of the fraction, goes into the numerator, the upper part of the fraction.

Since 200 x 2 = 400 and since 400 > 347 this means...

200 goes into 347, once.

Finally, subtract and divide.

Remember put the whole number in front of the mixed number, before the decimal

3. Subtract, divide, decimalize

$147/200= 0.735\\\\1\frac{147}{200}= 1.735$

Hopes this helps you!

Have a good afternoon!
