Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf 1 \ crate = \frac{15}{14} \ lbs}

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf \frac{2}{3}\  of \ a\ crate = \frac{5}{7} \ of \ a\ pound \\\\We \ need \ to \ find\ the \ weight \ of \ one \ crate\\\\So, Multiplying \ both \ sides \ by \ the\ reciprocal \ of \ \frac{2}{3} \ i.e. \frac{3}{2} \\\\1 \ crate = \frac{5}{7} * \frac{3}{2} \ lbs\\\\1 \ crate = \frac{5*3}{7*2} \ lbs\\\\1 \ crate = \frac{15}{14} \ lbs

Answer:

1 1/14 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

2/3 crate        1 crate

----------------- = -----------------

5/7 lb                 x lbs

Using cross products

2/3x = 5/7 *1

Multiply each side by 3/2

3/2 * 2/3 x = 3/2 * 5/7

x = 15/14

x = 1 1/14

Answer:

1.80 in^3

1.0 fluid ounces^3

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of a cone = 1/3 πr²h

π = 3.14

r = 2.2 / 2 = 1.1

h = the value of h can be determined using Pythagoras theorem

The Pythagoras theorem : a² + b² = c²

where a = length

b = base

c =  hypotenuse

1.8² = 1.1² + b²

3.24 = 1.21 + b²

3.24 - 1.21 = b²

2.03

b = √2.03 = 1.42

Volume = 1/3 x 3.14 x 1.21 x 1.42 = 1.80 in^3

1.80 x 0.554 = 1.0 fluid ounces^3

One jar holds 16 red marbles and 4 blue marbles. A second jar holds 75 white marbles and 25 blue marbles. What is the probabilit
bezimeni [28]
Jar 1 : 16 red, 4 blue....total = 20
P(blue) = 4/20 reduces to 1/5

jar 2 : 75 white,25 blue...total = 100
P(blue) = 25/100 reduces to 1/4

P(blue,blue) = 1/5 * 1/4 = 1/20 or 0.05 or 5%
