Answer: The weight of the box is 0.2 pounds and the weight of the chocolates before any chocolates were taken out is 2 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the weight of the box only.

The weight of the box of chocolates is 2.2 pounds. It means that the weight of the chocolate only is

(2.2 - x) pounds

After taking out 75% of the chocolates, the remaining chocolates and the box weigh 0.7 pounds. It means that

2.2 - 0.75(2.2 - x) = 0.7

2.2 - 1.65 + 0.75x = 0.7

0.75x = 0.7 + 1.65 - 2.2

0.75x = 0.15

x = 0.15/0.75

x = 0.2 pounds

The weight of the chocolates before any chocolates were taken out is

2.2 - x = 2.2 - 0.2 = 2 pounds

Answer:

43. I'm not really sure about this one but here's what I got:

The average height of a 4th grader is 58 inches. (Maybe that'll help) Also if it's by the number of kids in the class....I would assume that there are at most 33 kids in the class....I'm not sure what it's asking...sorry :(

46. There are 8 total marbles so if you were selecting a green marble the probability of getting a green marble would be 3/8. If there are 2 blue marbles  then the probability would be 2/8 or 1/4

48. In a deck of cards there are 26 black cards and 26 red cards. Number of event occurrences. Total number of trials. For example, if a dice is rolled 6000 times and the number '5' occurs 990 times, then the experimental probability that '5' shows up on the dice is 990/6000 = 0.165. That should help with this one

49. Since there are 6 sides and each side is a number 1-6, the probability of rolling a six is 1:6

50. This one is easy if you read the question right. There are no pink marbles....

I'm not that great with graphs

I hope this helped a little....some of the questions I didn't understand.

nlexa [21]
Jack was planting a tree. He was to dig a hole that was 3 feet deep for every 5 feet of tree height. How deep should he dig the hole for a tree that is 17feet high. 

Calculations 

\frac{DEEP}{HIEGHT} 

Cross multiplication

\frac{3 DEEP}{5 HIEGHT} = \frac{x}{13} 

5x = 2 x 13 

Divide by 5 to isolate x

\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{51}{5} 

x = 10.2 

Answer = 10.2
