Answer:

6\ lb = 2.724\ kg

11\ kg = 24.2\ lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

1\ kg = 2.2\ lb

1\ lb = 0.454\ kg

Required

- Convert 6 lb to kg

- Convert 11kg to lb

To solve for (a), we make use of the second conversion unit:

1\ lb = 0.454\ kg

Multiply both sides by 6

6 * 1\ lb = 0.454\ kg * 6

6\ lb = 2.724\ kg

<em>Hence, a 6lb backpack weighs 2.724kg</em>

Solving (b): 11 kg to lb

Here, we make use of the first conversion unit

1\ kg = 2.2\ lb

Multiply both sides by 11

11 * 1\ kg = 2.2\ lb * 11

11\ kg = 24.2\ lb

<em>Hence, the cat weighs 24.2lb</em>

<h3>Answer:  VX = 37</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

VX is a midsegment and it is half as long compared to the parallel side UY. This means UY is twice as long compared to VX

UY = 2*(VX)

s = 2*(s-37)

s = 2s - 74

s-2s = -74

-s = -74

s = 74

This makes UY be 74 units long

So VX = (1/2)*UY = 0.5*74 = 37

Four friends drove from their homes in four different cities to a class reunion.
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Tomas

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use miles per hour

Maren:<em> 60 miles/hour</em> (It's given to us)

Safiya: 120 miles/3 hours

Let's divide both by three to get to miles/hour.

120/3=40

<em>40 miles/hour</em>

Tomas: 84 miles/1.2 hours

Let's divide both by 1.2 to get to miles/hour

84/1.2=70

<em>70 miles/hour</em>

Cam: 75 miles/1.5 hours

Let's divide both by 1.5 to get to miles/hour

75/1.5=50

<em>50 miles/hour</em>

After comparing all the speeds we can conclude that Tomas drove the fastest.
