We want "pounds" to disappear, in favor of "ounces."

Thus, multiply 5.5 pounds by (16 oz / 1 pound).  "pounds" cancels, leaving you with "88 oz."

Answer:

A. 16 ounces/1 pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that: 1 pound (lb) is equal to 16 Ounces (oz).

Then you have to find a ratio to convert 5.5 pounds to ounces.

If you write: 5.5 pounds, you have to find a ratio that eliminates pounds in order to get ounces:

5.5 pounds*16 ounces/1 pound

In this way pounds in the numerator is eliminated with pounds from the denominator and the result you get is in units of ounces.

5.5 pounds*16 ounces/1 pound=88 ounces

Answer:

QR = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

PR = PQ + QR

PR = x + 19

PQ = 9

So now put what you know in the equation above.

PR = 9 + 2x + 19

PR also equals x + 19

so

x + 19 = 9 + 2x + 19

x + 19 = 2x + 28

19 - 28 + x = 2x

-9 + x = 2x

-9 = 2x - x

-9 = x

===================

QR = 2x + 19

QR = 2*-9 + 19

QR = -18 + 19

QR = 1

This really is kind of a nasty question. You don't expect to get a minus number of x.

Given the two points (2,4) and (-3,2), what is the slope of the line that goes through both of these points?
Andreyy89
With the formula: m=(y1-y2)/(x1-x2) you can sub in the values to get the slope (m).

m=(4-2)/(2-(-3))
   = 2/5

Therefore the slope is 2/5.

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

The point estimate for the proportion of women with BRCA1 mutation is 0.168

Step-by-step explanation:

The point estimate for the proportion of women with BRCA1 mutation is the number of women with this mutation divided by the size of the sample.

Of the 173, they found that 29 had BRCA1 mutations.

29/173 = 0.168

The point estimate for the proportion of women with BRCA1 mutation is 0.168
