Answer: 100 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since 1 ton = 2,000 lbs

We have to divide 10lbs by 2000 to convert the lbs in tons.

1t/2000lb = xt / 10lb

10 /2000=0.005

0.005 ton = 10 lbs (1 bag)

Each box has 4 bags

0.005 ton x 4 = 0.02 ton

So each box weights 0.02 ton

Since we need 2 tons.

Using proportions:

0.02t/1 box= 2 t / x boxes

x = 2 / (0.02/1)

x = 100 boxes  

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

John weighs three times as much as Karen. Two times John's weight plus Karen's weight is 875 pounds. How much does John weigh? H
Leokris [45]

Answer:

John- 375

Karen- 125

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 1...

j =3k

2j + k = 875

substituting the first eqn into the 2nd

2(3k) + k = 875

6k+ k =875

7k = 875

k =875/7 =125

thus j = 3(125) =375

How do you find the x
lions [1.4K]
Because those are straight lines, the 46 degrees must be equal to the (2x - 4).
2x -4 = 46.
2x = 46 + 4
2x = 50
x = 50/2
x = 25.
