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

Consider the function represented by the equation 6q = 3s - 9. Write the equation in function notation, where q is the independe
serg [7]

Answer:

s = 2q + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear function has the form:

● y = mx + b

● y is the output of the function

● x is the variabke that we input

● b is the y-intetcept.

Focus on y and x.

Notice that y depends of the value of x. The value of y changes by changing x. So the value of x controls the output y.

y is dependent but x is not.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

● 6q = 3s - 9

We want q to be the independent variable wich means that q will be the input. Therefore s should be the output.

The strategy we are going to follow is separating s in one side alone.

● 6q = 3s - 9

Add 9 to both sides

● 6q + 9 = 3s -9 + 9

● 6q + 9 = 3s

Divide both sides by 3

● (6q + 9)/3 = (3s)/3

● (6q)/3 + 9/3 = s

● s = 2q + 3

So the answer is s = 2q + 3

Is 3 squared • 4 squares = 12? Evaluate each side of the equation
Paladinen [302]
No because 4 square equals 2 square and since 3 isn't a perfect number, it would be 2 square times 3 square, which equals 6 square.

Iq scores follow a normal distribution with mean 100 and standard deviation 15. give 100 random city college students a standard
kipiarov [429]
About 68% of the people will score between 85 and 115.

The values of 85 and 115 are exactly 15 points away, or 1 standard deviation, away from the mean.

According to the empirical rule, about 68% of the values in a normal distribution are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
