AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

800 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that an object that weighs 24 pounds on Mercury weighs approximately 80 pounds on Earth. A rock weighs 240 pounds on Mercury. We are asked to find the weight of rock on Earth.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem as proportions state that the ratio between two proportional quantities is equal.

$\frac{\text{Weight on Earth}}{\text{Weight on Mercury}}=\frac{80}{24}$

Upon substituting our given value, we will get:

$\frac{\text{Weight on Earth}}{240}=\frac{80}{24}$

$\frac{\text{Weight on Earth}}{240}\cdot 240=\frac{80}{24}\cdot 240$

$\text{Weight on Earth}}=\frac{80}{1}\cdot 10$

$\text{Weight on Earth}=800$

Therefore, the weight of rock on Earth would be approximately 800 pounds.

Answer:

3 2/3 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

You just need to multiply 6 and 4 2/3. To do this you have to change both of them into improper fractions so 6 would be 21/3 and 4 2/3 would be 14/3. If you cross cancel the 21/3 will become 7/3 and the 14/3 will become 14/1. Now you have to multiply across and you should get 98/3. To change the improper fraction into a mixed number you have to divide 98 and 3 so you can get 3 2/3. Therefore, the answer to the area of the quilt is 3 2/3 square feet.
