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

Shiela either walks or cycles to school the probability that she walks is 0.65 if she walks the probability that she is late is
Serjik [45]

Answer:

0.705

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

walks=0.65 and is late=0.4;is not late=0.6

cycles=0.35 and is late=0.1;is not late=0.9

The probability of sheila walking and not being late:  

0.65 x 0.6=0.39  

AND probability of being not late and cycling:

0.35 x 0.9=0.315

therefore,the probability of sheila walking or cycling and still not being late:

0.39+0.315=0.705

I need help finding out why they are congruent
Advocard [28]
Ok so if 5x + 24 equals 9x - 17, the we can write it like this:

5x + 24 = 9x - 17 ~~~ We have to get x on one side to find out what it is. So you can either subtract 5x from both sides or 9x from both sides. Imma subtract 5x from north sides which becomes:

5x - 5x + 24 = 9x - 5x - 17 Now simplify

24 = 4x - 17 Now isolate 4x. To do that we have to add 17 to both sides

24 + 17 = 4x - 17 + 17 Now simplify

41 = 4x Now we have to get x alone on one side. So divide 4 from both sides. Becomes

41/4 = 4x/4 Now simplify.
