Answer:
D) 13.62 kg/L
Explanation:
This problem can be solved by a simple rule of three.
The problem states that Mercury has a dansy of 30 lbs/L, and asks what is the density in kg/L. We have to convert from lbs to kg.
Each lb has 0.454 kg? How many kg are there in 30 lbs?
So:
1 lb - 0.454kg
30 lb - x kg
This means that mercury's density in kg/L is 13.62, letter D. Letter A is also 13.62, however it is not in the unit asked.
From Top to bottom: C, B, D, A. That's the correct matchups (:
The consecutive numbers are either 2 and 3, or 7 and 8..
x(x+1) = x^2 + x
x^2 + x = 10x-14
quadratic form of x^2 + x = 10x-14:
x^2 - 9x + 14 = 0
(x-2)(x-7) = 0
x = 2, 7
so 2 and 3, or 7 and 8 are the answers
