Carats, known as ct, is a measure of weight used for gemstones.One carat is equal to 1/5 of a gram (200 milligrams). Stones are measured to the nearest hundredth of a carat. So, the equation would be as follows:

m = c x 200

where m is the mass in units of milligrams and c is the weight in units of carats.

Answer: 990 lbs

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

Set up the proportion, then cross multiply and solve for the unknown value (pounds).

$\dfrac{55\ lbs}{404\ sq\ ft}=\dfrac{x}{7272\ sq\ ft}\\\\\\55\ lbs\cdot 7272\ sq\ ft=404\ sq\ ft\cdot x\\\\\\\dfrac{55\ lbs\cdot 7272\ sq\ ft}{404\ sq\ ft}=x\\\\\\990\ lbs=x$
