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

What is the surface area of the solid shown below?
Ugo [173]

Answer:

\text{C. }156\:\mathrm{cm^3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of the triangular prism consists of three rectangles and two triangles.

Rectangle One - 5 x 12 = 60 cm^2

Rectangle Two - 4 x 12 = 48 cm^2

Rectangle Three - 3 x 12 = 36 cm^2

Triangles - 2 x 1/2 x 3 x 4 = 12 cm^2

Thus, the total surface area of the solid is 60+48+36+12=\boxed{\text{C. }156\:\mathrm{cm^3}}

Write an equation describing the relationship of the given variables. y varies inversely as the cube root of x and when x=125, y
notka56 [123]

Answer:

y = 40 / x^1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

y α x^1/3

y = k * 1 / x^1/3

y = k / x^1/3

When x = 125 ; y = 8

8 = k / 125^1/3

Cube root of 125 = 5

8 = k / 5

8 * 5 = k ; k = 40

Hence, expression becomes :

y = 40 / x^1/3

r = 3sec( \alpha ) \\ r =  \frac{3}{cos( \alpha )}

x = rcos( \alpha ) \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: cos( \alpha ) =  \frac{x}{r}

r =  \frac{3}{ \frac{x}{r} }  \\ r =  \frac{3r}{x}  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: x = 3 \\ line

The graph of the step function g(x) = –⌊x⌋ + 3 is shown. On a coordinate plane, a step graph has horizontal segments that are ea
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

{x| –2 ≤ x < 5}

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a box function plotted on the graph.

The function is  g(x) = –⌊x⌋ + 3.

Now, we know that a box function represents a step graph having horizontal segments that are each 1 unit long. The left end of each segment is a closed circle. The right end of each segment is an open circle.  

It is given that the left-most segment of the given graph goes from (-2,5) to (-1,5) and the rightmost segment goes from (4,-1) to (5,-1).

So, for the left most segment the domain is -2 ≤ x < -1

And for the right most segment the domain is  4 ≤ x < 5  

Therefore, the total domain of g(x) will be  {x| –2 ≤ x < 5} (Answer)
