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.

What is the fully factored form of 32a^3 + 12a^2?
Klio2033 [76]

<u>Answer:</u>

4a^{2} (8a + 3)

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

32a^3 + 12a^2

To factorize this, start by taking the common variable out. As we have two powers for the same variable a, we can take the smaller power of a as a common to get like shown below:

32a^3 + 12a^2

a^2 (32a + 12)

Now when you have taken the variable as a common, try and take out a common number from the coefficient of a as well:

a^2 (32a + 12)

4a^2 (8a + 3)

So, the fully factored form of 32a^3 + 12a^2 is 4a^2 (8a + 3).

Talja [164]

Answer:

$ 2250

Step-by-step explanation:

3375 = s³

s = ∛3375

s = 15 ft.

floor area = s² = (15 * 15)

floor area = 225 ft²

the contractor charges $10 per ft².

therefore,  

the hardwood cost = 225  x  $10 = $2250

Because Line 1 is parallel to Line 2, angle "a" should also be 46 degrees. b is complementary so it would be 180-46=134(degrees).

A lawn mower cost $470 when new and is expected to last 10 years. What will it be worth in 7.5 years? (Assume the lawn mower has
USPshnik [31]
Answer: 117.5
Explanation: Assuming that after 10 years the lawn mower would have a value of 0. We can evenly divide $470 by the amount of years.
$750/10 = $75
We would then multiply 75*7.5 years to then realize the value lost over that amount of time would be $352.5, subtracting that from the original value of $470 would then be 117.5
