How do you convert units within a measurement system

Mathematics
1 answer:
Katarina [22]3 years ago

You will have to write a proportion. Then use common denominators to write equivalent ratios. For example;

What is the weight of a 3 Ib human brain in ounces?
Use a proportion to convert 3 Ibs to oz.

16 ounces ? oz
————— = —————
1pound 3 pounds


Use common denominators to write equivalent ratios.


16•3 ?
----- = --- 3 is a common denominator.
1•3 3

48 ?
--- = ---
3 3

Equivalent rates with the same denominators have the same nominators.

?= 48

The weight is 48 ounces.

Choose all of the following relationships that represent functions. please help!!
ser-zykov [4K]
The rule of a function is:
You CANNOT have one x-value with multiple different y values in the same function. You can however have different x values with the same y value.
Also for reference: independent means x value and dependent means y- value.

The first answer is not a function because as you can see there is one x-value with multiple y values.

second answer IS a function because as I said before you can have different x values with the same y value

third answer is a function again because you can have different x values with same y value

number four isn't a function bc again the -2 x value has 2 different y Values.
