Answer:

$2\frac{22}{25}$ cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the weight of water is 62 and one half lb per cubic foot and we are to find the number of cubic feet that would be occupied by 180 lb of water.

For that, we will divide total amount of water by per unit weight of water:

Cubic feet occupied by 180 lb of water = $\frac{180}{62.5} =$ = 2.88 cubic feet or $2\frac{22}{25}$ cubic feet

What does a equal in 1/2(a-7)=33?

Dmitriy789 [7]

To find a, you need to isolate/get the variable "a" by itself in the equation:

$\frac{1}{2} (a-7)=33$ Multiply the inverse of 1/2, which is 2, to get rid of the fraction

$(2)\frac{1}{2}(a-7)=(2)33$

a - 7 = 66 Add 7 on both sides to get "a" by itself

a - 7 + 7 = 66 + 7

a = 73
