Given slabs thicknesses 5in, 10in, and 15in.

Therefore,<u> </u><u>ratio of thicknesses in simplest form would be 1:2:3.</u>

Metal 1 thicknesses =  150lbs, 300lbs, 600lbs

Dividing by 150, we get ratio of Metal 1 thicknesses = 1:2:4.

Metal 2 thicknesses = 130lbs, 260lbs, 390lbs.

Dividing by 130, we get ratio of Metal 2 thicknesses =  1:2:3.

Metal 3 thicknesses = 310lbs, 620lbs, 930lbs.

Dividing by 310, we get ratio of Metal 3 thicknesses = 1:2:3.

Metal 4 thicknesses = 140lbs, 280lbs, 420lbs.

Dividing by 140, we get ratio of Metal 4 thicknesses = 1:2:3.

<u>We can see the ratios of thicknesses of Metal 1 are 1:2:4 but it should be 1:2:3.</u>

Therefore, Metal 1 weight is not proportional to thickness.

Answer:

Weights of metal 1 is not proportional to thickness.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given 3 thicknesses of metal slabs and the weights of each thickness for each metal. We are asked to find out which of the metals weight is not proportional to thickness.

We can see that the thicknesses of slabs are first three multiples of 5 that is 5 inches, 10 inches and 15 inches.

Now let us see which of the metals have not their weights proportional to their thicknesses.

In our first option we can see that 300 is 2 times 150 and 600 is 4 times 150 which is not proportional to thickness. In order to metal 1's weight to be proportional with it's thickness it should be 450 lbs instead of 600.

Our second metal's weight is proportional to it's thickness as 130, 260 and 390 are 3 first consecutive multiples of 130.

Our third and fourth metal's weights are also proportional to their thicknesses.

Therefore, metal 1's weight is not proportional to thickness.

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

Yes; she will have $4008 for other expenses.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you find out how much she saved by multiplying 350 by 36 as she saved for 3 years which is 36 months.

350 \times 36 = 12600

After that you need to work out the amount she needs in total for her tuition by multiplying 4 by 3723 which is the amount needed per year.

3723 \times 4 = 14892

If her parents add to her account half the amount she saved that means that they give her an additional 6300 as that's half of 12600.

This means she has 18900 and if you take away 14892 you will be left with 4008 for expenses.
