Answer: 4.8 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

In total there are 12 ounces. If she drinks 3/5 of 12 you multiply 3/5 by 12.

3/5 * 12 would be equal to 3/5 * 12/1 which is 36/5. You have found how much she has drank. 36/5 is also equal to 7.2 ounces. Subtract 7.2 form 12 and you get 4.8 ounces.

Hope this helped!

b. Sixty-five pounds of candy was divided into four different boxes. The second box contained twice the amount of the first box.

Ainat [17]

First box = 14 pounds

Second box = 2x = 28 pounds

Third Box = x+2= 16 pounds

Fourth box = x/2 = 7 pounds

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , Sixty-five pounds of candy was divided into four different boxes. The second box contained twice the amount of the first box. The third box contained two more pounds than the first box. The last box contained one-fourth the amount in the second box. We need to find How much candy was in each box. Let's find out:

We have a total of 65 pounds of candy ! Let in first box we have x pounds so , second box contained twice the amount of the first box i.e.

⇒ $2x$

The third box contained two more pounds than the first box i.e.

⇒ $x+2$

The last box contained one-fourth the amount in the second box i.e.

⇒ $(\frac{1}{4})2x = \frac{x}{4}$

Therefore , Sum of pounds of candy are :

⇒ $\frac{x}{2} +x+2+2x+x=65$

⇒ $\frac{x}{2} +4x=63$

⇒ $\frac{9x}{2}=63$

⇒ $x=63(\frac{2}{9} )$

⇒ $x=14$

Therefore , Candy in each box is :

First box = 14 pounds

Second box = 2x = 28 pounds

Third Box = x+2= 16 pounds

Fourth box = x/2 = 7 pounds

Billy has 1 gallon of paint. He is going to pour it into a paint tray that measures 10 inches wide, 14 inches long, and 4 cm dee

V125BC [204]

Answer:

The paint will not fill the tray by 10.53 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will find the volume of the paint tray and compare it with the volume of the gallon.

Given dimensions are:

Length = 14 inches

Width = 10 inches

Depth = 4 cm or $\frac{4}{2.54}=1.575$ inches

The volume is given by = length x width x depth

Volume = $14\times10\times1.575=220.50$ cubic inches

Volume of 1 gallon is given as = 231 cubic inches

We can see that volume of 1 gallon is more than volume of tray.

Difference = $231-220.50=10.5$ cubic inches.

So, the paint will not fill the tray by 10.53 cubic inches.

Eric was rock climbing. At one point, he stopped and climbed straight down 2\dfrac{1}{2}2 2 1 2, start fraction, 1, divided by

podryga [215]

Answer:

Hence, Eric's elevation changed $4\frac{1}{4}$ meters above. So after the 2 moves, he is up by $4\frac{1}{4}$ meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume "negative" as climbing up and "positive" as climbing up. Here we need to find the change in elevation.

$2\frac{1}{2}$ meters down means $-2\frac{1}{2}$ .
$6\frac{3}{4}$ meters up means $+6\frac{3}{4}$ .

Now we have:

$=-2\frac{1}{2} + 6\frac{3}{4}\\\\=-\frac{5}{2} +\frac{27}{4} \\\\=\frac{-5(2)+27}{4} \\\\=\frac{-10+27}{4} \\\\=\frac{17}{4} = 4\frac{1}{4}$
