A box of nails weighs 130 pounds when it is 2/3 full. It weighs 74 pounds when it is 3/8 full. What is the weight of the box?
1 answer:
Let the weight of the full Volume of nails in the box be W.
Let the weight of the box be B.
2/3 W + B = 130 ........i From the first statement.
3/8 W + B = 74 ......ii From the second statement.
Equation (i) Minus (ii)
2/3 W - 3/8 W + B - B = 130 - 74
(16W - 9W) / 24 = 56
7W / 24 = 56.
W = 56 * 24 / 7
W = 192 Pounds.
Substituting V = 64 in equation (i)
2/3 W + B = 130
2/3 * 192 + B = 130
2 * 64 + B = 130
128 + B = 130
B = 130 -128 = 2.
Therefore, weight of box, B = 2 pounds.

Answer:
-1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the slope using the slope formula
m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= ( -6 - -5)/( -1 - -3)
= ( -6+5)/( -1+3)
=-1/ 2
