The length of one segment is 15 cm and other segment is 60 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the length of one segment and y be the length of other segment

Then according to given statement

x+y=75 Eqn 1

And

one the segments are four times the other

x=4y Eqn 2

$Putting\ x=4y\ in\ equation\ 1$

$4y+y=75\\5y=75\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 5\\\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{75}{5}\\y=15\\Putting\ y=15\ in\ eqn\ 2\\x=4(15)\\x=60$

Hence,

The length of one segment is 15 cm and other segment is 60 cm

Write the number represented by the base ten blocks

Is there supposed to be a picture attached? Or is it asking simply what number "base 10 blocks" represents. If so, the answer would be 10. Not sure if that's what the question is asking though! Hope this helps :)

Randy has two 28-pound blocks of ice for his snow cone stand. 1). How many pounds of ice does randy have at his snow cone stand?

dalvyx [7]

Randy has 56 pound blocks of ice for his snow cone stand

Tons of ice is 0.028 tons or $\frac{7}{250} \text{ tons }$

Solution:

Randy has two 28-pound blocks of ice for his snow cone stand

1). How many pounds of ice does randy have at his snow cone stand?

Calculate the total pounds that Randy has

Total pounds = 2 x 28 = 56

Thus Randy has 56 pound blocks of ice for his snow cone stand

2) How many tons of ice is there?

Total pounds of ice = 56 pounds

So we have to convert 56 pounds to tons

Use the conversion factor

1 pound = 0.0005 ton

Therefore, 56 pounds is equal to,

56 pound = 0.0005 x 56 tons = 0.028 tons

Thus in decimal we got, 0.028 tons

Convert to fraction form,

$0.028 = \frac{0.028}{1000} \times 1000 = \frac{28}{1000} = \frac{7}{250}$

Thus tons of ice is 0.028 tons or $\frac{7}{250} \text{ tons }$
