Line up the shapes.
a. 2/8 = x/16

b. 12/4 = 18/x = y/8

c. 6/4=8/y=7/x

a. Cross multiply. 8x = 2*16
8x = 32
divide both sides by 8
x = 4

b. 12/4 = 18/x
cross multiply
12x = 18*4
12x = 72
divide both sides by 12
x = 6

12/4 = y/8
cross multiply
4y = 12*8
4y = 96
divide both sides by 4
y = 24

c. 6/4 = 8/y
cross multiply
6y = 8*4
6y = 32
divide both sides by 6
y = 32/6 = 16/3

6/4 = 7/x
cross multiply
6x = 7*4
6x = 28
divide both sides by 6
x = 14/3

The weight, w, of a spring in pounds is given by 0.9 times the square root of the energy, E, stored by the spring in joules. If

frutty [35]

For this case we have the following equation:
$w = 0.9* \sqrt{E}$
Where,
w: The weight of a spring in pounds
E: the energy stored by the spring in joules.
Substituting values we have:
$w = 0.9* \sqrt{12}$
Making the corresponding calculation:
$w=3.12$
Answer:
the approximate weight of the spring in pounds is:
$w=3.12$
