2y-7>15
2y> 15+7
2Y > 22
2Y/2>22/2
y > 11
put any number below 11 in the left side it will be less then 15
2x-5> 1
2x > 1 +5
2x > 6
2x/2 > 6/2
x > = 3
put 3 instead of x in the left side it will be equal to the right side or put anything less then 3 then the left side will be less then 1
2x+5>1
2x > 1-5
2x > -4
2x/2>-4/2
x> -2
put -2 instead of x it will be equal to the right side anything less then -2 then it will be less the the right side
Marcia dissolved 1 kg of salt in 3 litres of water.
Bobby dissolves 2 pounds of salt in 7 pints of water
2.11 pints = 1 litre
7 pints = 7/2.11
= 3.32 litre
1 pound =0.45 kg
2 pound = o.45*2 kg
= 0.9 kg
So we find that Bobby is dissolving 0.9kg of salt in 3.32 litre of water
Marcia is dissolving 1 kg of salt in 3 litres of water.
So it can be said that Marcia made a more concentrated salt solution.
A conversion factor originally known as unity bracket method, is a mathematical tool for converting between units of measurement. It is sometimes referred to as a unit multiplier, and consists of a fraction in which the denominator is equal to the numerator.
A conversion factor is used to change the units of a measured quantity without changing its value. Because of the identity property of multiplication, the value of a number will not change as long as it is multiplied by one.Also, if the numerator and denominator of a fraction are equal to each other, then the fraction is equal to one. So as long as the numerator and denominator of the fraction are equivalent, they will not affect the value of the measured quantity.
For example,
Days are converted to hours, by multiplying the days by the conversion factor as 24. The conversion can be reversed by dividing, the hours, by 24 to get days; however, the reciprocal 1/24 could be considered the reverse conversion factor for an hours-to-days conversion, where 1/24 ~= 0.0416666666667. Hence, the term "conversion factor" is the multiplier which yields the result, not a divisor from that viewpoint. To yield hours, the conversion factor is 24, not 1/24, so: hours = days × 24 (multiplying by the factor).
Examples of Conversion Factors
Since 1 day = 24 hours = 1440 minutes, therefore 15 minutes (1 day/1440 minutes) = 15/1440 ~= 0.010416667 = ~0.01 days.
Since 1 hour = 60 mins = 3600 seconds, therefore 7200 seconds = 120 mins = 2 hours.
