Look for numbers with which you can divide all the numbers.
<span>40, 16 and 80 are all divisible by 2. So do that. </span>
<span>Then you get 20:8:40 </span>
<span>Do that until you can't divide anymore with any number.

A salesman is carrying a big bag for selling a machine. In addition to the machine that the salesman wants to sell, there is som

stira [4]

The total weight of the bag that the salesman is carrying for selling a machine including some personal stuff is 13.9 Kg.

<h3>What is a fraction?</h3>

A fraction is a rational number that consists of a numerator and a denominator, used to represent a part of the whole thing.

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

It is given that,

A salesman is carrying a big bag for selling a machine.

Consider the weight of the machine = w

So,

The weight of his machine is three kilograms and half a machine. I.e.,

w = 3kg +w/2

⇒ w/2 = 3kg

∴ w = 6kg

Thus, the weight of the machine is 6 Kg.

So, the weight of the repair tool for the machine = a half kilogram and one-fourth of the machine

⇒ 1/2Kg + 1/4w

⇒ 1/2 + 6/4

⇒ 2 Kg

The personal stuff weighs - four kilograms minus a fourth of the weight of the machine.

⇒ 4Kg - w/4

⇒ 4 - 6/4

⇒ 2.5 Kg

He has some supplies that weigh two-fifth of the machine and personal stuff combined.

⇒ 2/5(w + 2.5)

⇒ 2/5 × 8.5

⇒ 3.4 Kg

Thus, the total weight of the bag = 6 Kg + 2 Kg + 2.5 Kg + 3.4Kg = 13.9Kg.

Therefore, the total weight of the salesman's bag is 13.9 Kg.

There are 75 milligrams of cholesterol in a 3.5 ounce serving of lobster. How much cholesterol is in 6ounces of lobster

Maru [420]

Hence, the amount of cholesterol in 6 ounces of lobster will be 128.58 milligrams

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Cholesterol in 3.5 ounces = 75 mg

Cholesterol in 6 ounces =x= ?

This can be worked out by using proportions

It can be written as:

$\frac{75}{3.5}=\frac{x}{6}\\21.43=\frac{x}{6}\\Multiplying\ both\ sides\ by\ 6\\21.43*6=x\\x=128.58\ mg$

Hence, the amount of cholesterol in 6 ounces of lobster will be 128.58 milligrams
