Question

An artists builds a sculpture out of metal and wood that weighs 14.9 kilograms.3/4 of this weight is metal,and the rest is wood.How much does the wood part of the sculpture weigh?PLZZZ HELP!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Given is a sculpture that is built up of metal and wood, and the weight of this sculpture is 14.9 kilograms.

It says that three-fourth of the total weight is metal and says to find the weight of wooden part.

We can find the weight of metal part and then subtract it from the total weight to calculate the answer.

Total weight = 14.9 kilograms.

Metal part = three-fourth of total weight = $\frac{3}{4} *14.9=\frac{44.7}{4} =11.175 \;kilograms$

Wooden part = 14.9 - 11.175 = 3.725 kilograms.

Hence, the wooden part is 3.725 kilograms.

Answer 2

3.725 kilograms or ¹/₄ part

Further explanation

Given:

An artist builds a sculpture out of metal and wood that weighs 14.9 kilograms.

• ³/₄ of this weight is metal, and
• the rest is wood.

Question:

How much does the wood part of the sculpture weighs?

The Process:

From the information above, we make a diagram that matches the composition of the sculpture material.

$\boxed{metal}\boxed{metal}\boxed{metal}\boxed{wood} = 14.9 \ kilograms$

• ³/₄ of this weight is metal, and
• the rest is wood, which is $\boxed{ \ 1 - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{1}{4} \ }$.

And now, let us calculate the wood part of the sculpture weighs.

$\boxed{ \ = \frac{1}{4} \times 14.9 \ kilograms \ }$

Both 4 and 14.9 are multiplied by 10.

$\boxed{ \ = \frac{1}{40} \times 149 \ kilograms \ }$

$\boxed{ \ = \frac{149}{40} \ kilograms \ }$

Both the numerator and denominator are divided by 4.

$\boxed{ \ = \frac{37.25}{10} \ kilograms \ }$

$\boxed{ \ = \frac{3,725}{1,000} \ kilograms \ }$

$\boxed{\boxed{ \ 3.725 \ kilograms \ }}$

Thus, the wood part of the sculpture weighs is 3.725 kilograms or ¹/₄ part.
