1 ton------> 2204.62 lb
<span>each crate weighs 80 pounds
so
by proportion
1/2204.62=x/80
x=80/2204.62-----> x=0.036 ton
each crate weighs 0.036 ton

step 2
divide 2 ton by 0.036
2/0.036=55.11 crate----------> 55 crate

the answer is
</span>the greatest number of crates that can be loaded onto the elevator is <span>55

These two lines are congruent (the same) so we can set them equal to each other and solve.

5x-4=3x+6

The first thing we need to do is subtract 3x from both sides leaving us with 2x-4=6

Now we can add 4 to both sides leaving us with 2x=2

Now we need to divide both sides by 2 to get x alone.

Giving us our final answer of x=1

Please help with question number 3, please
Nadusha1986 [10]

The ratio is 9 : 7 which means for every 9 pounds of Quartz you have 7 pounds Marble. For the second row Quartz is 72. For the third row it's 11 bags because 99/9 = 11 and 11 times 7 equals 77. The four one is 126 pounds Quartz. Finally the last one is 15 bags and 15 times 7 is 75 pounds of Marble. What you do with the ratio is multiply by the number of bags to figure out with this many bags how many Quartz or Marble. You can do the same thing to figure out how many bags.
