Mathematics

Phoenix [80]3 years ago

Answer:

The weight of the object is 3 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>

Let object weight be x kg.

Now, as per the available data,

3/4 kg + 3/4 (x kg) = x kg

<u>Step 2: </u>

3/4 (1 + x) = x

1 + x = 4x/3

1 = x (4/3 - 1)

x = 1 / (1/3)

x = 3

Weight of Object is 3 kg.

<u>Step 3: </u>

Let's check if this value satisfies the first equation.

3/4 + 3/4 x 3 = 3/4 + 9/4 = 12/4 = 3

Hence proved.

What is 7.42 as a fraction in simplest form?
inn [45]
7.42 as a fraction is 7420/1000. Now you need to simplify it. The easiest way to do this is to continuously divide the top and bottom by 2 as long as it is even. At this point it should be small enough to figure out the other factors, and finish simplifying it. This only simplifies to 371/50. While 371 is divisible by 7 and 53, 50 is not divisible by either of them, so the final solution is 371/30

Therefore 371/50 is 7.42 as a fraction.

Carl is boarding a plane. He has 2 checked bags of equal weight and a backpack that weighs 4 kg. The total weight of Carl's bagg
aniked [119]
<span>Carl has 3 bags in total. One backpack weighs 4 kg and the rest two checking bags have the equal weight. The total weight of 3 bags is given to be 35 kg.

Let the weight of each checking bag is w kg. So we can write:

2 x (Weight of a checking bag) + Weight of Backpack = 35

Using the values, we get:

2w+ 4 = 35

Using this equation we can find the weight of each checking bag, as shown below.

2w = 31

w = 31/2

w = 15.5

Thus, the weight of each checking bag is 15.5 kg
