Answer is 11.5

Total weight of the shipment is 65, and 1 envelope weight 7.5 that’s means
65-7.5= 57.5

As we are looking for each box weight in pounds so you divided 57.5/5 =11.50

Hope this helps!

Initial weight= 65 lbs total


STEP 1
Subtract weight of envelope from total weight

65 - 7.5= 57.5 lbs for 5 boxes


STEP 2
Divide remaining weight equally into 5 parts (5 boxes of equal weight)

57.5 ÷ 5= 11.5 lbs per box


ANSWER: Each box weighs (B) 11.5 pounds.

Hope this helps! :)

Write the inequality (without solving)
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

2.15f+4.6n\leq 150

Step-by-step explanation:

She has a budget of $150, which means that she can spend no more than that amount. Therefore, use the less than or equal to symbol: ≤

Each folder is $2.15, so you are going to multiply: 2.15 × f

Each notebook is $4.60, so you will multiply: 4.6 × n

You want to know how many notebooks and folders you can buy for $150, so add the notebooks and folders.

Make the equation:

2.15f+4.6n\leq 150

:Done

The table lists how financial aid income cutoffs (in dollars) for a family of four have changed over time. Use the midpoint form
Kipish [7]
You can see that every decade the income increases by 6,250. So if you want to do 5 years instead you would have to add 3,125 to the income of 1980 to find what the income was for 1985. Now you add 33,750+3,125= 36,875. The financial aid cutoff for 1985 would be $36,875.

The slope between the points (-1,-5) and (r, -9) is 2. What is the value of r?
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

r = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

(-1, -5)

(r, -9)

-5 - (-9) / -1 - r = 2

4 / -1 - r = 2

r = -2

-1 - (-3) = 2

4 / 2 = 2

Please let me know if I've gotten anything wrong!
