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

Solve the following inequality. 21<_-3(x - 4) < 30 A. 28<_x < 37 B. -3 <_ x < 6 C. -6 < x <_ -3 D. -10 &

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Option C $-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$21\leq -3(x-4)$

The compound inequality can be divided into two inequality

$21\leq -3(x-4)$ -----> inequality A

$-3(x-4)$ ----> inequality B

Solve inequality A

$21\leq -3x+12$

$9\leq -3x$

Divide by -3 both sides

when you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality symbol

$-3\geq x$

Rewrite

$x\leq -3$

The solution of the inequality A is the interval (-∞,-3]

Solve the inequality B

$-3x+12$

$-3x$

Divide by -3 both sides

when you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality symbol

$x>-6$

The solution of the inequality B is the interval [-6,∞)

The solution of the compound inequality is

[-6,∞) ∩ (-∞,-3]=(-6,-3]

$-6$

timofeeve [1]

Divide 24 by 6 because that is how many numbers are on the cube which would equal 4
Then multiply 4 and 2 because that's how many possibilities there are of rolling a number less than 4 and is even and the solution is 8
