Answer: There are 6 bricks in the bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert from mixed number to decimal number. To do it, divide the numerator of the fraction by the denominator and add the result to the whole number part. Then:

3\frac{3}{4}\ lb=(3+0.75)\ lb=3.75\ lb

Convert from fraction to decimal number. To do it you need to divide the numerator by the denominator. Then, you get:

\frac{5}{8}lb=0.625\ lb

Let be "x" the number of bricks in the bag<em>.</em>

<em> </em>Based on the information given in the exercise, you can set up the following proportion:

\frac{1}{0.625}=\frac{x}{3.75}

Finally, you must solve for "x" in order to find its value. This is:

(3.75)(\frac{1}{0.625})=x\\\\x=6

One number is 3/8 of another number. The difference of the two numbers is 4.2. What is the lesser number
boyakko [2]

Answer:

2.52.

Step-by-step explanation:

If one number is x then the other = 3x/8.

Also x - 3x / 8 = 4.2

x - 0.375 x = 4.2

0.625x = 4.2

x = 4.2 / 0.625

x = 6.72.

So the lesser number is 6.72 * 0.375 = 2.52.
