A carpenter bought bolts to finish a project. In all, the bolts weighed 3 pounds. There are 16 ounces in 1 pound. If each bolt w
eighed 1/15 ounce, how many bolts did the carpenter buy?
1 answer:
STEP 1
calculate total ounces
= 16 oz/lb * 3 lbs
= 48 ounces
STEP 2
calculate number of bolts; divide total weight (48 ounces) by ounces per bolt
x= number of bolts purchased
x= 48 ounces ÷ 1/15 oz per bolt
x= 48 ÷ 1/15
to divide by fraction; multiply by reciprocal of 1/15
x= 48 * 15/1
x= 720 bolts
ANSWER: He purchased 720 bolts
Hope this helps! :)

Answer:
Rational
Step-by-step explanation:
This is rational because the square root of 169/64 would be 13/8 and any rational number could be put into a fraction
F(x)=(-1)^2+3
f(x)=1+3
f(x)=4
The slope is 0 because 4 is a constant.
If x=3
(1/3)y2+12=15
(1/3)y2=15-12
(1/3)y2=3
y2=3*3
y2=9
y=3
5:6. cuz there are 5 numbers greater than 1 that can be rolled
⇛ -12 + 8
⇛ -4
